The best places for a nature-filled and adventurous holiday with your dog

Autumn is perhaps one of the finest seasons to head out with your dog. The forests turn golden, the air becomes crisp, and after a long walk, nothing awaits but a warm and comfortable holiday home. A break from the daily hustle and bustle, time in nature together, and above all: plenty of time for each other.

An autumn holiday with your dog isn't just about long walks. It is precisely the combination of being outdoors, discovering new places, and then returning together to a lovely holiday accommodation that makes it so special.

Experience autumn during your stay in an authentic windmill

Autumn is perhaps the most beautiful time to discover Egmond aan den Hoef. Nestled in the North Holland dune landscape, an authentic windmill has been transformed into a unique holiday home on a small-scale holiday park. Here you can enjoy peace, space, and the special feeling of sleeping in a historic setting. From the Egmond Windmill, you can walk or cycle straight into the dunes, where the leaves are changing color and the autumn sun casts a warm glow over the landscape. A trip to the wide beach of Egmond aan Zee is especially special at this time: the wind blows strongly, the sea shows its rugged side, and the beach is wonderfully calm. After a refreshing walk, a hot chocolate in a cozy café in the village tastes even better. The surrounding area also has much to offer in autumn. Discover the artists' village of Bergen, wander through the historic streets of Alkmaar, or enjoy the scent of wet leaves during a long walk through the dunes. If you're lucky, you might spot Scottish highlanders or wild horses along the way, living here in complete freedom.

Why autumn in Salland is so special

Those going on holiday to Den Ham in Overijssel are choosing peace, nature, and plenty of opportunities to get out and explore. From your holiday accommodation, you can walk or cycle straight into the beautiful Salland landscape, with colorful forests, vast heathlands, atmospheric estates, and characteristic farmhouses. Discover the Lemelerberg, stroll through the idyllic Eerder Achterbroek, or take a relaxing trip along the Regge. The charming town of Ommen is also close by for an afternoon of shopping, lunch, or enjoying a drink on a terrace. Whether you come for long walks, scenic bike rides, exploring nature, or simply to unwind completely: the area around Den Ham has everything you need for a wonderful holiday surrounded by greenery.

🐾 Exploring nature

A holiday with your dog is, of course, more than just walking. Turn it into a little exploration together.

Take a route through a nature reserve you don't know yet, walk along the water, or seek out the smaller walking paths. For your dog, every new environment is interesting: different scents, sounds, and animals provide plenty of adventure.

Salland and the Overijssel landscape around Den Ham are also particularly beautiful in autumn. Here, forests, heathlands, farmlands, and quiet walking areas alternate. A lovely environment for those who enjoy venturing into nature and then seeking peace and quiet.
