holiday park De Wiltzangh

Vakantiepark De Wiltzangh is a forest and nature park located at the Witteveen near Ruinen in Drenthe, on the edge of Nationaal Park Dwingelderveld. The park sits directly alongside the largest wet heathland area in Europe, with forests, heather fields and fens in the immediate surroundings.

Accommodation at De Wiltzangh

The park offers lodges and tiny houses for two to six people, with a wide range of types to choose from. Many of the lodges are available in a standard version or with a private hot tub, and several units include wellness facilities. The lineup runs from compact options such as the Tiny Suite and Bosrand Wellness Cabin for two, to larger lodges like the Groeneborg and Esborg for groups of up to six.

Facilities on the grounds

The park has an outdoor swimming pool, a playground, a minigolf course, bicycle hire and a launderette. Sauna and hot tub facilities are available on site, either in the shared wellness area or as part of the accommodation itself. Camping pitches and motorhome pitches are also available alongside the holiday homes.

What to do around Ruinen and Dwingelderveld

Nationaal Park Dwingelderveld, right on the park's doorstep, offers extensive walking and cycling routes through heathland, forests and fens. The Ruinen sheepfold is within walking distance and gives an impression of the traditional land use that shaped this landscape. The wider Drenthe region is known for its prehistoric monuments, including hunebedden, the large megalithic tombs that appear throughout the province. The town of Ruinen itself has a modest centre with a few local shops and restaurants.
