‘Sahara’
This unique piece of nature just outside of Ommen is the result of grazing sheep and deforestation. This is what’s left of a once much larger plain but has since then mostly been taken back by the forest.
This is a wonderful place to hike, for sunbathing or to let up a kite.
Along the riversides
With its wonderful green scenery the ‘Vecht River’ is a pleasure to follow by bike or in a canoe and to have picnics on the riverside.
The ‘Vecht River’ is known for its many curves and bends, as well as it’s quick rising at high water. It starts in Germany and runs straight through the province of Overijssel.
Forests, meadows and farmlands make for a constant changing landscape, in which only small villages and farmhouses show the human presence.
National Tin Soldiers Museum
Since 1985 the old town hall of Ommen is turned into a museum that houses over 200.000 cultural historic figures mad from tin. This is the Netherlands’ only national museum of ‘tin soldiers’. The museum is at walking distance from the group accommodations and a nice attraction for a rainy or cold day.
