The Overijssel Vecht Valley, the basin of the Vecht River in the province of Overijssel, extending from Zwolle to the German border, is characterized by space and peace. It is a magnificent nature reserve full of possibilities for fishing, boating, walking or biking. You will find water, forest, moorland, drifting sand and typical Dutch farms amidst the varied landscape. It is an excellent operating base for a promising holiday. The abundance of nature, cultural history and recreational facilities within reach makes the Overijssel Vecht Valley an ideal holiday destination. Places like Dalfsen, Ommen, Hardenberg, Balkbrug, Dedemsvaart, Slagharen and Gramsbergen lie in the neighbourhood. And don’t forget Giethoorn! Rest and peace are just as granted to you as the joy of the amusement parks, such as Adventure Park Hellendoorn, Pony Park Slagharen and Play City Oranje. You can also enjoy delightful biking- and walking tours. There are plenty of routes, all signposted and clearly marked. Of course there are many more other possibilities like swimming in the indoor pool of Ommen, playing mini golf, golf, tennis, riding horseback and making trips in a covered boat. You can also visit the Tin Figures Museum, the Antiquities’ Room, Flourmill “The Lily” (“De Lelie”), recreational area De Oldemeijer, beautiful corners of nature, such as the sand drift "Sahara", the lakes, the splendid moorland and the flocks of sheep on the hills of Archemer- and Lemelerberg.
