Surrounding Area

We are located in Bourtange, one of the oldest fortress towns of the Netherlands, founded in 1583. A perfect place for a visit to this medieval vilage and tours and walks through the countryside - only a few steps away from the German border, cosy and fair priced restaurants as well as picturesque ancient little streets and shops....

The fortress township "Bourtange" is well worth a visit and lies approx. 200 kilometers (124 miles) north east from Amsterdam in the quaint and tranquil province Groningen. It is one of the most unique towns of the Netherlands that still remained the same over all these hundreds of years. In the summer, on sunday's, an authentic medieval canon will be fired by the local medieval "watchguard" to honour the days past...
