Daily

These activities can be enjoyed throughout the day, in the mill, in and around the park. Ask at reception for more information.

Crafts in the mill or reception* – Let your creativity run wild and come and do some crafts whenever you feel like it. The mill is open at certain times during the day and available for drawing, colouring, and creating artwork.
SpykeBall – Challenge each other to a game full of speed and fun! This energetic game is played in pairs or groups of four around a net on the ground.
Archery – Test your concentration and precision! Learn to aim like a real archer and try to hit the bullseye at the shooting range.
Pancake package with a ‘farm tour’: Pancake packages are available at reception, allowing you to collect your own fresh milk from a nearby farm. Have you always wanted to see inside a farm and the stables? The farmer will be happy to show you around. Visit reception for more information.
Kubb and stand-up paddleboarding: These activities are available in the activity room and can be enjoyed at any time.
Yoga: We have free yoga mats available at reception for our guests. Via this link you can follow a lesson in or at your accommodation, created on Park Gooilanden.

* Parents and children are welcome to visit the mill at their own convenience. We have a volunteer available at various times who is happy to share information about the heritage on the park, but we do not provide childcare or assume supervision responsibilities.

A visit to a local farm

Experience the real countryside with Farm Tour, a fun and surprising activity for the whole group. With the pancake kit, you’ll head out to a local farm, where you can take a look around the barns and meet the cows up close.

A special moment is milking the cows yourself – pure, fresh and straight from the source. With this milk, you’ll return to your accommodation, where you’ll bake the most delicious pancakes together in the evening using the kit provided.

A simple yet special experience where discovery, tasting and shared enjoyment come together effortlessly. (Cost: €20 per kit)

Water sports

For those who love getting out on the water, the opportunities are literally on your doorstep. From the activity hut in the park, you can easily grab a SUP board or canoe and head straight out onto Lake Uitgeestermeer.

Glide gently across the water, discover the surroundings from a new perspective and enjoy the peace and space around you. Whether you opt for a leisurely trip or prefer a more active outing on the water – the lake invites you to get out there and fully embrace the moment.

A home for bees in this park

At Dutchen, we place great importance on nature conservation and biodiversity. That is why we are proud to announce that beehives have been installed in this park, inhabited by the gentle Carnica honeybee.

With these beehives, we aim not only to contribute to the recovery of the bee population, but also to raise awareness of the importance of these remarkable insects. The bees are professionally managed and do not bother visitors — as long as they are left in peace. In this way, we are taking our commitment to sustainability a step further and inviting our guests to join us in caring for our natural environment.

There are two beehives in the park – this ensures healthy competition among the colonies and better protection against natural predators.
Honey from our own hives – depending on the harvest, the delicious Dutchen honey is available at reception
Feel free to take a look at the hives – but please keep a safe distance
The beekeeper visits every two weeks between April and September for maintenance and offers workshops to our guests—he also brings his beekeeping suits so guests can watch up close. We’ll let you know the exact time via the Dutchen Guest App. Feel free to ask at the front desk for more information.
