Tips for Autumn Destinations in the Netherlands

What comes to mind when you think of autumn? Leaves, walking, wind, rain, forests, looking for chestnuts, exploring nature, tea, hot chocolate... While it might rain a lot in autumn, that's precisely what makes this season so cozy. Staying indoors, playing games, sipping hot drinks, and cocooning. And when it's dry, head outside for a long walk in the woods, where the trees are russet and you can go hunting for chestnuts and mushrooms together. Autumn is a wonderful time and is perfect for a nature getaway. In this blog, we share holiday homes in the most beautiful autumn spots in the Netherlands!

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.

Green Heart of Friesland

Friesland boasts a beautiful natural environment rich in water. Wherever you choose to go—the Frisian lakes, the Wadden Sea, the Frisian forests, or the IJsselmeer—you'll discover the most beautiful spots in Friesland. You can enjoy lovely walks and bike rides everywhere in the autumn. Several ferries operate during October, November, and December, making it extra fun to choose a ferry route and get some fresh air! Staying in Friesland for a longer period? Then you can easily take a day trip to the provincial capital, Leeuwarden, or the port city of Harlingen. A mushroom expedition is also enjoyable; in the Frisian forests, you'll find them in unexpected places when the weather gets wetter.
