A vacation dedicated to water and nature
Make your vacation in Loosdrecht a moment of pure fun and frolic! For some precious memories, head for the magnificent Loosdrecht lake, populated by lovely sailing boats. The more athletic will not want to miss the chance to try their hand at sailing, canoeing and surfing. Even those who are not so keen on sailing will have a great time. Yacht charter in Loosdrecht will give you the opportunity to go on scenic excursions.
Hiking enthusiasts will also find what they are looking for. A short walk will take you to the island in front of the lake, where you can enjoy the magnificent landscape with its green meadows. There, hiking and cycling trips are legion.
For the winter holidays, skating on the frozen lake of Loosdrechtse Plassen will book you some magical moments. It will also be an opportunity to sample typical Dutch dishes such as split pea soup, caramel waffles, apple fritters and vegetable soup.
Sights to see around Loosdrecht
Loosdrecht has just as many cultural attractions. The Sypesteyn Castle Museum in Nieuw-Loosdrecht, dating from 1901, with its porcelain collection and garden, will amaze the inquisitive. The garden alone, with its indigenous plants and flowers, is worth a visit.
On the side of the boat on Loosdrecht Lake, the Wijdemeren Gallery exhibits paintings by important artists from the 19th century to the present day. However, the contemporary works are the most popular, particularly "The Girl with the Violets" by Annelies Jonkhart.
But the best is yet to be discovered, just half an hour from Loosdrecht, in the Vechtstreek. A dense forest dotted with splendid castles awaits you there. You can sail there as you please, enjoy the natural landscapes and explore the medieval Rijksmuseum Muiderslot castle and Zuylen castle.
