Welcome to Wijchen
By the water of the Berendonck recreation area, between Wijchen and Nijmegen, you’ll find a place where relaxation and nature come together. Wake up to a view of the lake and step right into the fens, forests, and castle routes. From the hotel, you can explore walking and cycling trails through the most beautiful nature in Gelderland. Whether you want to unwind, explore the region, or simply enjoy the silence — your stress-free stay begins here.
Cycling fun along rivers and castles
Historic cycling moments Choose the “Cycling Route around Wijchen” of about 39 km: wind along the dikes of the River Maas, pass through picturesque villages, and explore Castle Hernen, Ravenstein, and the surrounding area.
Wijchen Loop (approx. 21 km) A wooded route along the Wijchen Fen — perfect for both e-bikes and regular bikes, with rest spots and charging facilities along the way.
Castle Tour & Maasland Discover the “Geldersche Castles Route” (35–60 km), passing seven castles and windmills — a cultural and photographic delight.
Nature within walking distance of the resort
Recreation Area De Berendonck Just a stone’s throw from the resort, featuring beaches, wooded trails, and water fun across 160 hectares. Perfect for walking, swimming, or enjoying a refreshing breeze.
Agriculture & Biodiversity The VNC project revived 25 hectares of community hedgerows, rich in birds, insects, and flora — a lovely addition to short walks in the area.
Local Gem De Eikenhorst A farm with small ponds, a tea house, and a local market — the starting point for the Vennenpad hiking trail through the Overasseltse and Hatertse fens.
Let the surroundings walk with you
Sometimes what you’re looking for isn’t far away — it’s right here. In the silence of the fens. In the gentle roll of a bicycle wheel along the path. In the fresh morning air, the view over the water, or the calm of a forest that asks nothing of you.
Hotel Thermen Berendonck is set exactly where nature breathes and you’re invited to slow down. Where every walk feels like a small escape and every overnight stay like coming home to softness.
Extend your moment of peace, give space to your senses, and let the surroundings of Wijchen carry you — for a while, or perhaps a little longer.
