Bungalowpark Het Verscholen Dorp

The lake, Het Veluwemeer

Around park: 3km

Veluwemeer

The "Veluwe" has everything you could possibly want, including swimming, boating, surfing, and fishing. Water is a great attraction to water lovers, and some people love it so much, that they come back every summer. The Hanseatic towns of Harderwijk, Elburg, and Spakenburg have had a connection with water for a long time. When the ‘IJsselmeer’ (lake) was still sea commerce and shipping were the main livelihoods. Around the year 1500 Harderwijk had the largest fish market located in the ‘Zuiderzee’. You can still find reminders of those times in the streets of the old city. 

 
 

Wind- & Kitesurfing

The small beach of 'Strand Horst', situated between Harderwijk and Ermelo, is considered to be one of the best surfing locations in the Netherlands. You will find surfers there throughout the entire year. Even the best international players are often found there.
