Surroundings

The Land van Maas en Waal

Green meadows, winding rivers and villages full of history. From De Leeuwenbergh you can hop straight on your bike.

Between two rivers

Nature and history around the corner

The Land van Maas en Waal lies in the heart of the province of Gelderland, between the rivers Maas and Waal. Here you find green meadows, floodplains full of flowers and picturesque villages.

Beautiful walking and cycling paths run along the rivers. Ideal for discovering the peace and the landscape at your own pace.

The region also has a rich history. You see it in the old churches, the castles and the markets nearby. The people here are welcoming and love to tell you about their village.

Cycling and walking

Out and about along the dyke

We have put together a few cycle routes especially for our guests. You ride along quiet dyke roads, past the floodplains and through the villages nearby. Just ask us about them when you are here.

No bike with you? You can hire an e-bike or a tandem from us for €15 per day. Rather spend a day doing nothing? Then the sauna, the swimming pool and the hammock are waiting for you.
