Unforgettable outings
Day trips in Drenthe
Head out together, explore nature or discover a fun activity nearby.
Orvelter Hof sits right in the middle of Drenthe, and you notice it the moment you step outside. The heritage village of Orvelte is a two-kilometre bike ride away, the pitch & putt course a few hundred metres on foot, and within half an hour's drive you can be at Wildlands in Emmen, the Hunebedcentrum in Borger or the Drents Museum in Assen.
So you can pick something different every day. Out on the heath together in the morning, letting the kids loose in an open-air museum in the afternoon, and dinner with the whole group in Westerbork in the evening, ten minutes' drive away. Or bring the outing to the house: JP Activiteiten runs game shows, archery and bubble football right at Orvelter Hof.
Below you'll find our favourite outings by theme, each with the distance from Orvelter Hof and a link to the place's own website. That way you can plan a stay in which nobody gets bored.
