Not only do they make the very best ice cream in Hellendoorn, it is exceptionally idyllic there too. And yes, you have part of the Nature Reserve there too; Sallandse Heuvelrug. There is no end to the lush surroundings and nature. Walkers, cyclists and mountain bike enthusiasts flock here from far and wide. To go walking, cycling and mountain biking, they say. But they are very keen to make a detour to the Bakkerij-IJsmuseum. To subsequently burn off those calories by walking/cycling/mountain biking.

After all that physical activity on Sallandse Heuvelrug, you can enjoy a spot of relaxed shopping and wander through the welcoming streets in Nijverdal. Charming little shops and sociable terraces give you the feeling you are getting away from it all. Treat your taste buds to tasty regional produce at dinner in one of the restaurants or in a cosy bistro.

There is plenty for children to do too. Naturally, Avonturenpark Hellendoorn theme park with its awesome attractions is a must. There are good swimming facilities at Het Ravijn. And not forgetting ZINema, the cinema where children can watch the latest movies. Older children can build a raft or go paddle surfing on the Regge River, climb in the climbing park, tear round the go-karting track, or play a game of laser tag.
