We have had this cozy holiday home for a long time and are still in love with it . Here, at a distance of no more than 300 km, you are suddenly in a completely different world. A beautiful nature with valleys and mountains, pristine forests, wild flowing rivers and snow much more often in winter than in the Netherlands. The house is also very conveniently located. You walk straight into nature, as it were, due to its location near the river Amblève, the brook Steinbach and the large Wolfsbusch.
