Hellendoorn, Haarle, Nijverdal

There are many adventures to be had in the Hellendoorn Woods. Get on your bike and go!

On the edge of the Sallandse Heuvelrug, you will pass Erve De Pas. In this information barn, you can get more information about the area. For example, did you know that a wolf has been spotted in this area? Search for wolf tracks with the search for Wout the Wolf on the Sprengenberg. In the OERRR play forest, you can build cool huts, climb every tree and mess around with mud. Very tasty!

We move on through the woods and over the heath. Look around you, who knows, you might see a rabbit, a fox or a roe deer! Get off at Buitencentrum Sallandse Heuvelrug in Nijverdal and extend your voyage of discovery through the universe. The Buitencentrum houses a real observatory and with so much nature around you, it is very dark at night. On a clear night, you can see up to 2000 stars with just the naked eye! Every Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, you can look through the telescopes.

But there is more... At the Buitencentrum, you can also discover things underground. If you walk (or rather, run...) along the Speelbospad, you will clamber along all kinds of holes, gullies and slopes and you can take a look inside a badger sett. At the end of your journey you will arrive at Avonturenpark Hellendoorn. If you dare to go on the roller coaster, this is the place to be.

After this expedition through Hellendoorn and Nijverdal, you will return home, tired but satisfied. You will have discovered a whole new world, and the world will have a new explorer!
