Holterberg Hill is a special experience for those seeking tranquillity. In this vast natural area, forests, heathland and wildlife are treated with respect. This unique part of the Netherlands offers complete peace and quiet, and fantastic walking and cycling opportunities. At times, you won't meet anyone for hours during a walk here. The wind rushes through the treetops. Badger or deer tracks can be spotted in the sand. Look for a tranquil bench, take a break, enjoy the sunset. Listen to the silence ...
