Excursions

Excursion castle gardens Het Loo (55 € p.P.)

From Deventer you take the bus to the picturesque gardens of the former royal castle Het Loo. The baroque gardens, restored to their former glory, are a flourishing jewel. A strictly symmetrical design unfolds along a perfectly straight central axis. Boxwood hedges, beds with changing planting and rare plants from overseas form a horticultural ensemble that is not only popular with royalty. The fountains are an important design element - the palace was already known throughout Europe for them in the 17th century. Numerous statues of gods and goddesses lead into Greek mythology. After a tour through the gardens you have time to explore them on your own.

Excursion Giethoorn (39 € p.P.)

The Dutch Venice - this is what the Dutch call the small village of Giethoorn in the province of Overijssel. Many houses are built on small islands - islands that can only be reached via the bridges that are so characteristic of Giethoorn. Canals, numerous high wooden bridges and the thatched farmhouses as well as beautifully tended front gardens, weeping willows swaying gently in the wind - welcome to the most romantic place in the Netherlands. Get to know the idyllic atmosphere and landscape during a canal cruise.

City tour Groningen by bus / foot (35 € p.P.)

The city of Goningen offers many sights that you can get to know during your trip today. Well-known sacral buildings include the "Martinikerk" (St. Martin's Church) at the "Grote Markt", the oldest and largest church in the city, as well as the "Aa-kerk", also called the A-kerk. The churches are works of brick Gothic and house organs by Arp Schnitger, installed between 1692 (Martinikerk) and 1702 (Aa-kerk). Other places of interest are the 15th century house "Brugstraat 24", the provincial house (seat of the provincial government) and the former grain exchange at the front of the Vismarkt (fish market).

City tour Papenburg with Meyerwerft from / to Delfzijl (49 € p.P.)

From the pier in Delfzijl your today's excursion will take you to Papenburg . Papenburg is the northernmost town in the district of Emsland, directly bordering the East Frisian district of Leer. The city has a layout of canals and bascule bridges reminding of the Netherlands and is also called Venice of the North. The Roman Catholic Church of St. Anthony is the church of the oldest municipality in Papenburg. It was built between 1873 and 1877 with around 12 million bricks. With your tour guide you will discover the most beautiful sides of Papenburg, from the oldest house in the town, the Old Municipal House, to the main canal, the most unusual promenade in the north, the open-air museum and the Von-Velen complex. Afterwards you continue on to the Meyer shipyard. Experience the creation of the ocean giants at first hand and learn how modern and eco-friendly cruise ships are built at Meyer Werft. 20 ship models on an identical scale, original components and multimedia presentations will bring you closer to one of the most modern shipyards in the world.

Excursion maritime museum and distillery (49 € p.P.)

The first stop on your trip today is the Sneek Maritime Museum. The museum shows the history of Frisian shipping and trade from the 17th to the 20th century. It also shows the domestic culture in this part of Friesland. But the history of the town of Sneek and the surrounding area is also well documented. Afterwards you will be invited to taste the herbal schnapps in a distillery.

City tour Nijmegen (25 € p.P.)

The Latin name for the Hanseatic City Nijmegen is "Noviomagus" and reminiscent of the Roman past of the city. Very well worth seeing is the "Stevenskerk" or the "Grote kerk" (large church), the historical main church, which is named after the holly protomartyr Stephanus. Worth a visit are also the "Valkhof" with the Barbarossa ruins (formerly Roman and Carolingian buildings) and the St. Nicholas Chapel. Also, there are still remains of the wall: the Belvedère and the Crown Castle Tower (Kruittoren) in the "Kronenburgerpark".
