Rent a holiday apartment in Berkelland

If you want to rent a holiday apartment in Berkelland, it is best to start by considering your preferred daily routine. Berkelland is located in the Achterhoek region of the Dutch province of Gelderland, and its name refers to the Berkel River. The present-day municipality was formed in 2005 from Borculo, Eibergen, Neede and Ruurlo. The landscape alternates between streams, forests, fields, hedgerows, farmhouses and open views. When choosing accommodation, the main focus of your planned routes is therefore the key consideration.

Discover the landscape, trails and history

Cycling and walking trails lead through the countryside, forests and along waterways, as well as to farmhouses and country estates. Historic farmhouses, churches, watermills and country estates add a cultural dimension to days spent in nature. At Erve Brooks in Gelselaar, you can plan a day out in the countryside for the whole family. In this way, Berkelland combines outdoor activities with tangible experiences rooted in the landscape and its history.

Water or forest: choose your location based on your travel plans

From Borculo, waterways and the direction of the Berkel towards the Rekken area can be included as a focus for excursions. SUP and canoeing can also be considered as possible activities. If you mainly want to explore the water and smaller villages, Borculo and the area along the Berkel offer a different starting point from the wooded and estate landscape around Ruurlo or the Needse Berg near Neede.

For water-based routes and the direction of the Berkel, you can compare Borculo, Eibergen and Rekken. The rural farmhouse landscape is associated with Geesteren and Gelselaar; Ruurlo is associated with forests and country estates, while Neede is linked to the Needse Berg and heathland.

In Beltrum, several Kerkepaden provide a starting point for rural walks; Haarlo is associated with peaceful, open countryside. The overview of towns also leads to Nederbiel.

Choose accommodation to suit your daily routine

Whether you are looking for a holiday apartment, a holiday home or a hotel, the location of your accommodation should match the main focus of your planned routes. Routes near the water, wooded and estate landscapes, and the Needse Berg represent different types of day trips. If you want to combine cycling tours with historic farmhouses, churches, watermills or country estates, you should choose your accommodation based on its proximity to the specific routes and places you plan to visit.

If you want to combine nature and culture, first determine your own route priorities and then choose one of the Berkelland towns mentioned above as your base. You can subsequently search for a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel to suit your preferred daily routine, without automatically prioritising one type of accommodation.
