Wekerom

If you are looking for a hotel in Wekerom, you can plan your stay around nature, culture and specific places to visit. Southwest of the village lies Wekeromse Zand, a nature reserve covering more than 500 hectares. Its landscape includes woodland, heathland, farmland and an area of drifting sand. Actively shifting sand is rare in northwestern Europe. This unusual natural feature helps shape the choice of destination, while the observation tower, routes and reconstructed Celtic Fields offer different starting points for planning your day.

Wekeromse Zand and the observation tower

Wekeromse Zand is an extensive natural area; observation tower De Bult offers a different focus. It stands in Wekerom, next to Wekeromse Zand. From there, visitors can enjoy views of the Veluwe and the Gelderse Vallei. The tower is part of the Klompenpad Beek en Bult. This makes the distinction clear: the nature reserve represents a landscape, while De Bult is a viewpoint overlooking two regions. If you would like to choose a specific viewpoint for your stay, the tower is a clearly identified landmark.

Trails and specific destinations

The Wekeromse Zand wildlife walk passes a wildlife observation point. The Trage Tocht Wekeromse Zand and Landgoed de Valouwe offers different details: the route passes through both named areas and starts in a car park near Vijfsprongweg in Wekerom. You can therefore distinguish between the trails using different points of reference: for the wildlife walk, it is the observation point; for the Trage Tocht, it is the starting point and the route through two areas. Each route thus has its own described focus, and their destinations and routes should not be treated as the same.

Reconstructed Celtic Fields

The reconstructed Celtic Fields at Wekeromse Zand are clearly visible from the ground. Celtic Fields were reconstructed along Vijfsprongweg in Wekerom to reflect their former appearance. One route also takes up the theme: the Wekeromse Zand, Celtic Fields & Middelpunt route passes reconstructed Celtic Fields surrounding an Iron Age farmhouse. This lets you combine a visit to the fields with a named route. The references to visibility, reconstruction and the farmhouse each provide a specific point of connection to this historical focus.

Gnome trail and fruit picking

Kabouterpad De Hartenberg offers a different focus. The trail is about 900 metres long and fully accessible to wheelchair users. Along the path are brightly painted gnome posts, little houses and other features. Its approximate length and explicitly stated accessibility are practical criteria for choosing the trail, while its features give it a distinctive appearance. Wekerom therefore offers both trails connected with nature and history and a path with these special design elements.

At De Jachthoeve in Wekerom, visitors can pick their own fruit in the fruit-growing area from June to November. The Fruithof orchard can be visited by arrangement with the managers. The distinction makes a practical difference when planning your trip: fruit picking is seasonal, while a visit to the orchard requires prior arrangement. If you plan to include either activity, take the relevant period or arrangement with the managers into account.
