Walks and rides from the park

Walking and cycling routes start almost at the door, running through woodland, open heath and sandy dunes. A quiet heath field right beside the park suits an unhurried evening stroll. The wider northern area of the province also offers a wellness resort, a historic estate with plenty of play areas and a larger city for a day trip. Visitors can pick a slow day among the trees or a fuller outing that reaches further afield.
