About Drenthe
Drenthe is the province where life naturally slows down. Woodlands, heathland, sandy paths and small villages ensure that your days automatically become peaceful and unhurried. It’s a wonderful environment for young children: plenty of time outdoors, spotting animals, short walks, playgrounds in every village centre and places to explore everywhere.
For parents, Drenthe feels like a leisurely holiday; you don’t need to plan much, yet there’s something fun to do every day.
Why go on holiday in Drenthe?
Drenthe is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing holiday surrounded by nature and with plenty of open space. The province is safe, peaceful and full of places where children can play straight away: woodland paths, small ponds, hunebeds, sheep pens and small-scale farms.
What’s more, the distances are short, so you never have to drive for long. Everything feels close by and straightforward. That’s exactly what makes a holiday with young children so lovely.
When you’re in Drenthe, always make sure to spare a moment for the animals you come across along the way. The province is full of moments that instantly captivate young children: a flock of sheep moving slowly across the heath, Scottish Highland cattle standing lazily in a field, or a couple of curious goats at a small farm.
The lovely thing is that you don’t need to plan this – animals are simply part of the landscape here. Let them guide your route, and your day will naturally take on a rhythm, a sense of calm, and something to look forward to together.
