The morning silence is only interrupted by the gentle babbling of the nearby river and the melodious chirping of the birds. Over breakfast in the shade of branching deciduous trees, the family plans the day's activities. Whether it's extensive hiking and cycling tours, an excursion to the nearby amusement park or zoo: camping in Hardenberg on the banks of the River Vecht is never boring.
Hardenberg is located in the Netherlands, just 7 kilometres from the German border. The green landscapes are what make the region so attractive. By bike or on foot, holidaymakers roam through vast deciduous forests, cross heaths covered with bushes and colourful wildflowers or follow the lush floodplains of the River Vecht. With a little patience, fishing enthusiasts can catch zander, perch and carp from the gentle currents of the watercourse. In summer, children and adults can cool off in the well-maintained swimming pools at the campsites in Hardenberg. The nearest interesting excursion destination, from medieval villages to exciting amusement parks, is often only half an hour's drive away.
Due to its proximity to the German border, camping in Hardenberg is also ideal for holidaymakers from some places in Lower Saxony, Westphalia or the Ruhr area for a relaxing weekend trip. Motorhome or caravan drivers, for example, travel 169 km from Duisburg. From Osnabrück it is only 141 km.
From Berlin, it is a total of 557 km via the A2 and A30 motorways in a westerly direction to the destination in Hardenberg. The magnificent Herrenhausen Gardens near Hanover are about halfway along the route, making them an idyllic stopover.
From the south-east of Germany, the journey leads via Hesse and Westphalia. From Munich, for example, it is 778 kilometres. On the way is Kassel with the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, including the imposing castle. Campers from the south-west of Germany can choose between the A3 motorway via Cologne or the A45 and A1 via Wetzlar and Münster. Please note that delays are to be expected around Cologne, especially during the morning and evening rush hours.
The flat landscapes along the Vecht valley are ideal for long cycle tours with the children. The nearby amusement park in Slagharen also has its attractions for children.
A 58-kilometre round trip takes cycling enthusiasts from Hardenberg across the border to Emlichheim in Germany. The route returns to the starting point via the Dutch town of Coevorden. The attractions along the Vecht and its canals are many and varied. On the circular route, cyclists cross the river on a crank ferry, pass locks and lift bridges and repeatedly come across typical windmills. Cosy cafés and restaurants along the route invite you to take a refreshing break.
Just 9 kilometres from Hardenberg is one of the most popular amusement parks in Europe. The Wild West theme park attracts visitors with over 30 thrilling rides and shows. One highlight is the Gold Rush, a 33 metre high rollercoaster that accelerates up to 95 km/h. Secondly, the Aqua Mexicana subtropical water park offers entertainment for all water rats with a total of 10 slides and a huge whirlpool.
The events around Hardenberg inspire the youngsters and take parents back to their eventful youth. Passionate campers also get their money's worth.
The strengths of Dutch cuisine lie above all in innovative snacks inspired by the multicultural society and the proximity to the sea. The snack stalls offer crispy chips with a variety of delicious sauces based on peanut or curry, for example. Kibbeling - small pieces of fish deep-fried in batter - are of course a must. In the evening, colleagues and friends meet up in cosy bars for borrel, the Dutch answer to Spanish tapas. If you don't just want to snack, head to one of the international restaurants. These include kipsaté, Indonesian chicken skewers with peanut sauce or the Surinamese speciality roti. The spicy curry with potatoes, green beans, eggs and meat is eaten by hand using a wheat patty.
It is only around 80 kilometres as the crow flies from Hardenberg to the North Sea. For this reason, the town has a moderately warm maritime climate. The average daily temperatures from June to August are just over 20 degrees Celsius and rarely fall below freezing, even in winter. It should be noted that some of the region's campsites are only open from the end of March to the end of October.
For water lovers, the summer months are particularly suitable for camping in Hardenberg. During this time, the campsite's own swimming pools can be fully utilised and a trip to the North Sea is also possible. Those who come to the Dutch town primarily for cycling, hiking and fishing should take advantage of the quieter low season in spring and autumn.
