Hardenberg

Travel Guide

This village on the Vecht is in the east of the Netherlands near the German border. Its main attractions are its proximity to nature and a theme park.

Spend a romantic weekend or a few active days with the whole family in Hardenberg, a small town close to the German border. The nature in the province of Overijssel is stunning. Discover the woods, heaths and parks in this beautiful part of the Netherlands.

Hardenberg is a quiet little village with a turbulent past. Two fires raged through the city and devastated most of it both times. The last big fire was in 1708, after which most of the wooden houses were rebuilt in brick.

You can still see some historic landmarks while walking around town. The Historiekamer Hardenberg is a great place to learn more about the local history. Relax with a cold drink at a pub on the Vecht or go to Vechtpark Hardenberg in town.

If the kids are with you, Hardenberg is the ideal base for a weekend at Theme Park and Resort Slagharen! Join in the fun or take photos of the kids having the time of their life on the roller coaster or big wheel. Slagharen is just 9 km away from Hardenberg.

Nature lovers can hire bicycles and visit places such as the bathing lake De Oldemeijer, which is to the southwest of Hardenberg. Another great place for a day trip is Vogelpark De Lorkeershoeve, a park with birds from all parts of the world.

If you’d like to see Hardenberg from a different perspective, there are several places in town where you can hire a boat or a canoe. Head north or south on the Vecht and stop anywhere for a picnic!

Hardenberg is easy to reach by bus and train. If you're travelling by car, park for free at one of the park and ride (P+R) parking lots, from where you can walk into town in a few minutes.

Discover Hardenberg's peaceful countryside or combine your visit with a day at the theme park. Discover this part of Overijssel!
