The Sallandse Heuvelrug
From our holiday park, you can easily reach National Park Sallandse Heuvelrug, a vast nature reserve between Holten and Hellendoorn. Here, you'll find several hills, such as the Haarlerberg, Holterberg, Noetselerberg, and Koningsbelten. The Hellendoornse Berg lies just outside the national park but is also well worth a visit. Thanks to its excellent location, our holiday park in Holten is a great choice if you're looking for a bungalow park on the Sallandse Heuvelrug.fit the rare night swallow, which resides on the Sallandse Heuvelrug.
A unique nature reserve
National Park Sallandse Heuvelrug features both forests and a vast heathland. The forests were once planted to keep the heathland under control, and they blend in perfectly with the landscape.
Between the heath and the forest, countless wild animals live. You might spot a roe deer in the early morning, see a fox darting away at dusk, or hear the drumming of a woodpecker high in the trees. The Sallandse Heuvelrug is also the last place in the Netherlands where the capercaillie still lives in the wild. To protect these animals, car traffic within the Sallandse Heuvelrug is restricted, but this only improves walking and cycling opportunities.
