Activities Afternoon

1. Beleef de Steengroeve (max. 30 people)

Geologically speaking, the varied soil structure of Winterswijk is one of the richest in our country. That is why Winterswijk is also called the mosaic floor of the Netherlands. One of the geological highlights in the Winterswijk National Landscape is the quarry. Due to the limestone extraction, millions of years old layers of earth are visible in the rock walls on the surface, offering visitors a phenomenal glimpse into the geological history of Winterswijk. During the tour “Beleef de Steengroeve" you descend into the quarry under the guidance of an experienced guide and learn about the history of the bocage landscape, the special natural valuesand the exceptional geological qualities of the area.  To the quarry and back you will be able to enjoy the beautiful landscape of Winterswijk in a covered wagon.

2. City walk Winterswijk

Under the guidance of a guide, you will take a beautiful village walk through the bustling center of Winterswijk. Winterswijk is great for shopping and there is a lively market on Saturdays.You walk through atmospheric streets such as the Nieuwstraat,
the oldest (and perhaps the most beautiful) street in Winterswijk. The guide tells stories about the Catholic church that became Protestant overnight, about Aunt Riek who helped people go into hiding during WWII, about the scraps of love letters scattered throughout the center and also how easy it was to get your driver's license. To pass: if you could drive a lap around the church you had passed. Wherever you walk in Winterswijk, you are reminded of Winterswijk's most famous resident: Piet Mondriaan.

3. Sup lake ‘t Hilgelo

For the sports enthusiast! What do we do? Warming up with game form on the beach + short instruction on the water as a whole group, under the guidance of several SUP instructors. This includes a nice tour of 't Hilgelo and in between some (light) boot camp and/or yoga exercises will be done on the SUP board.

If the group becomes too large, we will split the group into two groups. A second activity will then be organized on the beach. The 2 groups then switch activities after 45 to 60 minutes.

A few announcements for this activity:
Perhaps unnecessary to mention, but you must be able to swim. Bring your own swimming/sports clothing. Changing rooms are provided. Showering is not possible.
To ‘t Hilgelo and back you will need your own transportation. Please carpool. Parking costs can be expensed. 

4. Take a walk at lake ‘t Hilgelo
Would you like to go to 't Hilgelo to enjoy the surroundings, but not participate in the SUP activity? No problem at all. An altern ative could be a nice walk around the lake. A walk around the lake takes about 1.5 hours and is easy to do.  To ‘t Hilgelo and back you will need your own transporttation.  Pleasecarpool. Parking costs can be expensed.
