The modern vacation homes and lodges are fully equipped with all the amenities you need, providing the perfect base for your vacation. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a cozy living room. All accommodations also feature a private terrace or garden, perfect for unwinding after a day full of adventure. The parks themselves offer the necessary tranquility for a carefree stay.
Exploring the surroundings from Ossenisse
From the vacation park in Ossenisse, located in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, a stunning environment awaits you. This area is known for its rustic charm, with authentic villages and a characteristic landscape. A must-see is the Saeftinghe nature reserve, one of the largest brackish marshes in Europe. Here, you can hike endlessly and enjoy the unique flora and fauna.
For a day of cultural exploration, visit the historic city of Hulst. This fortified city boasts a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Admire the imposing city walls, visit the 16th-century Town Hall, and stroll through the charming streets filled with local shops and cafes. A visit to the Belgian city of Ghent, just 50 kilometers away, is also highly recommended. This vibrant city, with its well-preserved and beautiful medieval center full of monuments, is definitely worth a visit. The numerous terraces and excellent restaurants invite you to enjoy a delightful day out.
Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to do in Ossenisse. The Westerschelde offers ample opportunities for sailing, fishing, and other water sports. Alternatively, rent a bike and explore the area on two wheels, along picturesque dikes and through quaint villages.
HUB Resorts Knuitershoek offers three different types of luxury vacation villas, all with 4 bedrooms and suitable for up to 7 people. Some villas even feature a sunshower or a sauna.
Hoogersmilde: A haven of tranquility in Drenthe
In the northeast of the Netherlands, you’ll find HUB Resorts' vacation park in Hoogersmilde, nestled in the beautiful nature of Drenthe. This area is known for its vast forests, heathlands, and ancient megalithic tombs called "hunebeds." Did you know there are as many as 52 hunebeds to be found here? Built around 5000 years ago, it’s almost unimaginable how their builders managed to move these massive stones. At the Hunebedcentrum in Borger, you can explore prehistory and admire the largest hunebed in the Netherlands! A visit to the Drents Museum in Assen is a must for those who want to learn more about the region's rich history.
Nature lovers will be in their element at the Dwingelderveld National Park, the largest wet heathland in Western Europe. Here, you can hike or bike for hours through an enchanting landscape of heather, ponds, and forests. If you're lucky, you might even spot a flock of sheep or a deer!
For a fun family day out, a visit to Wildlands Adventure Zoo in Emmen is highly recommended. This modern zoo takes you on a world tour, from the African savannas to the South American jungle. Experience thrilling adventures and get up close to fascinating animals.
HUB Resorts Drentse Weelde offers 4-person lodges, some of which are wheelchair accessible. There are also special lodges with a private sauna. Note: the park is currently undergoing a complete renovation, so amenities within the park are still limited. However, there are plenty of shops and recreational facilities in the immediate vicinity.
Culinary delights and local specialties
A vacation isn’t complete without tasting the local cuisine. Both in Zeeland and Drenthe, you'll find numerous restaurants and cafes serving the most delicious regional dishes. Be sure to try the fresh mussels and oysters in Zeeland, straight from the Oosterschelde. In Drenthe, don't miss the traditional Drentse kniepertjes and the delightful Drentse heath honey.
