Zandenplas

Zandenplas

Don't forget your camera, because the recreational area Zandenplas in Nunspeet is absolutely gorgeous. This recreational area, hidden in the middle of the forests of the Veluwe, really gives you the feeling that you're staying in a tropical destination. Not just because of the tall needle trees, but mostly because of the clear blue water!
