Because of the bustling Nijverdal, the historic Hellendoorn, the location in the unique cultural landscape of the Sallandse Heuvelrug and the Regge, the many activities and recreational and accommodation options makes it not for nothing that we say: Hellendoorn Nature Adventure!

Hellendoorn

Do you want to sniff culture? Then pay a visit to the village of Hellendoorn, where all kinds of activities are organized throughout the year. Much of the nine hundred year old culture has been preserved over the centuries. The many museums in the village testify to this.

Nijverdal

With its rich textile history, Nijverdal has a center that has undergone a true metamorphosis in recent years. A varied range of stores combined with catering in all shapes and sizes. The wheat events such as the various summer markets, the shopping Sundays with brocante markets, the ice skating rink in December make Nijverdal a great base for an enjoyable day of shopping!

Holten

The village of Holten, at the foot of the Holterberg, has traditionally been an attraction for tourists and an ideal base for a day out. In the center of the village there are several terraces and regular activities are organized. In the cultural center of Holten is the Tourist office where you can find tourist information.

Rijssen

Rijssen offers a diverse range of stores. Historic houses, the stately park building, the monumental Schildkerk and the Rijssen museum also certainly stand out in Rijssen. At the foot of the Rijsserberg, history can be found in the Leemspoor. Here you can take a ride with the little train on the route of an old narrow gauge railroad. Over a century ago the brickworks transported their raw materials on this.
