Water fun and Fishing:

Water fun: Water fun is one of the highlights of your stay. You can swim in the lake, relax at our swimming beach, or explore the area on a SUP board. From June 2023, you can also enjoy the new swimming pool with sun terrace. For boat rental, visit colleagues at Riverside in Appeltern.

You can fish from the fishing jetty or take your own fishing boat out on the water. There is exclusive fishing water with large pike and zander. The location on the river Meuse also offers the opportunity to go up the river and increase your chances of a big catch.
