Discover Zevenhuizen

Hiking, landscape history, the preserved peat-colony settlement structure, and wellness offer different points of focus. A scheduled walking event also provides a fixed date to plan around. Consider which of these interests will shape your trip before comparing hotel offers.

Landscape and hiking

Bolmeer is a pingo ruin that came to light during an excavation in the early 19th century. It is freely accessible to the public. An IVN Westerkwartier e.o. walk passes through Nanninga’s Bos and along Bolmeer near Zevenhuizen. If this walk is important to your plans, check the current date before your trip. You can go for a walk in Nanninga’s Bos, which covers about 27 hectares.

Harense Bos was established on a sandy rise formed by the wind. Its eastern side is two to three metres lower than its western side; the difference in elevation arose when the area was still a drifting sand area. Harense Bos thus brings together two specific aspects of landscape history: the wind-shaped rise and the difference in elevation between its sides.

A walking event in Zevenhuizen

The Billie Turf Tocht 2027 is scheduled for June 12 and starts and finishes at the MFC in Zevenhuizen. Walkers can choose between 15 and 30 kilometres; route distances may change.

If the walking event determines your travel dates, it is a good idea to check the date and event schedule again before booking.
