This is why camping in the Achterhoek is so much fun!
The Achterhoek is perfect for long walks and bike rides through forests, fields, and along the many waterways. You can fully enjoy the unique “coulisse” landscape, which means the scenery is always changing, offering new views around every corner. The towns and villages here are also charming—great for shopping, with plenty of galleries and museums to explore, so you won’t miss out on art and culture.
