The Dutch cannot stress how important it is to take a vacation at least once a year. What better way than to enjoy a vacation somewhere away from the city one is used to and dive into the tranquility of nature! Here are some ideas for quiet RV vacations in the Netherlands.
1. ELFSTEDENTOCHT IN FRIESLAND
Friesland possesses some of the most peaceful urban areas in the Netherlands. Because of the low population density, it is easy to make your own trip around the historic eleven cities of Friesland, often known for the Elfstedentocht. Learn more about the Elfstedentocht skating history while visiting the 11steden in your RV. More information view the route and tips of the Camperelfstedentocht.
2. THE VELUTE
Although, the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe, it has one of the most beautiful national parks in the middle of the Netherlands. Beautiful, vast and green, the region of the Veluwe stretches across the province of Gelderland. Here you can hike the endless green trails, spot various animals, walk along sparkling lakes and store in Apeldoorn and Arnhem. Accommodations are plentiful around that region, including spots for RVs. Learn more at https://www.visitveluwe.com
3. ALKMAAR
Alkmaar, the city of ice cream parlors, trendy shopping, extravagant museums, walking paths, bicycle routes and a child-friendly atmosphere. Not to mention that it organizes several events in the region, including the Caravan (not to be confused by the recreational vehicle), which will take place in the area during the month of August.
