Holiday park De Wiedense Meren

Vakantiepark De Wiedense Meren is a nature-based holiday park in Wanneperveen, Overijssel, situated on a small island between the Beulakerwijde and Belterwijde lakes within Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden. The park lies close to the village of Giethoorn.

Accommodation at De Wiedense Meren

The park offers a range of lodges, villas and tiny houses, with capacity for two to six people depending on the unit. Options include Rietland Lodges, several Villa types such as Villa de Wieden, Villa Weerribben and Villa Waterrijk, as well as Tiny Houses, one of which is designed for wheelchair users. A number of accommodations have views over the harbour, and there is also a Villa Waterrijk MIVA unit adapted for guests with reduced mobility.

Facilities on the grounds

The park has natural swimming water, making it possible to swim directly in the surrounding lake environment. Guests can rent SUP boards and boats on site, and bicycles are available for hire as well. A playground is present for children, and a bread roll delivery service provides a straightforward breakfast option.

What to do around Wanneperveen and Giethoorn

The park sits inside Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden, one of the largest wetland nature areas in northwest Europe, with extensive networks of waterways, peat lakes and reed marshes that are well suited to boating, canoeing and cycling. Giethoorn, the car-free village known for its canals and thatched farmhouses, is in the immediate vicinity and can be reached by water or by bicycle. The wider Weerribben-Wieden area has marked cycling and walking routes through the polder landscape, and the region is a recognised habitat for birds including marsh harriers, bitterns and kingfishers. Several small museums and visitor centres in the area cover the history of peat extraction and the development of the wetland landscape.

Getting to De Wiedense Meren

The nearest larger towns are Meppel and Steenwijk, both of which have rail connections to the national network. The park is reached by car via the Veneweg in Wanneperveen.

Who the park suits

De Wiedense Meren is a practical choice for couples, families and small groups who want a base in a quiet natural setting with direct access to water activities and the Weerribben-Wieden park. The availability of an MIVA unit also makes the park accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
