Over de Achterhoek

The Achterhoek inspires

Nature is an important source of inspiration for many. The Achterhoek region offers some of the most diverse nature in the Netherlands. You will find vast forests, expansive moorlands, beautiful estates, meandering rivers and much more. The bocage landscape harbours new surprises every time you view it. The area lends itself perfectly to extending your business meeting with delicious local food and outdoor activities such as hiking coaching, mountain biking, canoeing, climbing and sheep herding.

Experience the Achterhoek

Achterhoekers are known as hospitable, active and committed people. Many enjoy organising activities, often voluntarily, to give each other—and you—a wonderful time. Cycling and walking tours, concerts, festivals, exhibitions and other fun activities are organised regularly. The Achterhoek also has a rich cultural life. There are several leading museums, theatres and castles to visit, offering a nice break from your business stay.

Kilometres of recreational routes

Whether you enjoy hiking, cycling, mountain biking, gravel biking, horse riding, or trail running, the Achterhoek's network of routes has been expanded. You can put together your own routes or use one of nearly four hundred existing ones. The routes also provide a great active break in a meeting programme, perfect for clearing the head, blowing off steam and re-energising. 

Taste the Achterhoek

Be sure to taste all the culinary delights made in the Achterhoek. Many restaurants work with local produce—honest, sustainable and exceptionally tasty! Excellent wines are bottled, and the tastiest beers are brewed in several places; if you want to go all out, the Achterhoek region even has its own caviar production. Why not try a cooking workshop and prepare your own food with your group?
