What to do around Witteveen and Drenthe

The village of Orvelte is close to the park and is worth a visit. It is a well-preserved Saxon village that functions as an open-air museum, showing rural life in Drenthe as it was in earlier centuries. The area around the park borders three national parks, all within reach for walking and cycling. Drenthe is also known for its hunebedden, the prehistoric megalithic tombs that are scattered across the province and are among the oldest monuments in the Netherlands. The market town of Assen, the provincial capital, offers museums including the Drents Museum, which holds a significant collection of archaeological finds.

Getting to Orveltermarke

The park is in central Drenthe, with Assen being the nearest larger city. The A28 motorway runs through the province and connects the region to the rest of the country.

Who the park suits

Orveltermarke is well suited to families with young children, given the swimming facilities and activity programme on site. The park operates a fireworks-free policy during the holiday season, which makes it a practical choice for guests with pets or small children who are sensitive to fireworks.
