Leisure parks

Starting point for many leisure parks

Sunparks Sandur Drenthe is situated in the vicinity of many unusual leisure parks for large and small alike.

  • Plopsa Indoor Coevorden (at 15 km)
  • Emmen Zoo (at 10 km) and Veenpark
  • Slagharen Leisure park (at 33 km)

The first covered leisure park in the Netherlands opened its gates in 2010. Plopsa combines the magic of Studio 100 figures and the fun of many top attractions. Originally 'Attractiepark Slagharen' was simply a pony park with a play area. Nowadays the attractions include a roller coaster loops and Wild West Adventure. Emmen Zoo is a must for every zoo fanatic and the theme of the nearby Veenpark is the age of the peat cutters.

Water right in front of you

130 hectares of water right in front of your door

Sunparks Sandur Drenthe is right by a large leisure and water sports lake. There is everything for every taste:

  • Rietplas Lake
  • Beach and water sports
  • 'Whispering boats' (quiet electric boats) and more

You don't have to whisper in this boat. It takes its name from the quiet electric motor. Pedal boats, canoes, kayaks, surfboards and other water vehicles offer a sporting alternative. Even power kiting is an option. Also, almost all holiday villas are situated right on this lake. There is also an attractive beach right in the village. And if you like to take a walk you will find even more around the lake.

There are also 11 mountain bike routes on rough, pathless terrain. You can hire suitable bikes in the Village.

Emmen

Emmen - the largest town in the province

Mentions of the largest town in the province of Drenthe date back to the 12th century. 'De Muzeval' Theatre offers many cultural diversions.

  • 'Dierenpark Emmen'
  • The largest shopping centre in the north of the Netherlands
  • The residence of artist Vincent van Gogh

Emmen is home to perhaps the most popular zoo in the Netherlands. Go on a journey through 6 continents. The 1.5 million visitors per year are separated from the animals by ditches only. The old centre, with its authentic streets and many little shops is also charming. Right in the market square you will find the popular De Weiert shopping centre. And nearby you can visit the former rooms where the famous artist lived.

Across the border in no time at all

Across the border in no time at all

When you are walking or going for a congenial bike ride this goes almost unnoticed. You are soon in Germany, or more precisely in Emsland.

  • Night-time tour in Meppen
  • Large stone graves both sides of the border
  • international nature park, Bourtanger Moor-Bargerveen

These stone graves are of a distinctive nature: Two big blocks of stone in the ground carry a third. Today they are even to be found on the Emsland coat of arms. The natural park extends across both sides of the border, and the German part is known as Bourtanger Moor. The region's town hall was also built from big blocks of tone. The night guides show you the many historical buildings and tell you some of the unusual stories about this town on the night-time tour.
