Nature and Surroundings 
Het Grote Veld is a historic heathland landscape of 420 hectares and offers an oasis of tranquility in the Achterhoek: owls, roe deer, foxes, bats, and many species of birds of prey live around Deurnink. From the guesthouse, your walk or bike ride begins right in their habitat, and you can join the many cycling and walking routes (including the Central Netherlands Route and the Pieterpad) that pass through here. In the summer, swim in the swimming and recreation pool “In de Dennen” 3 km away, or in bad weather in the indoor swimming pool “De Beemd” 6 km away. Or go canoeing on the Berkel, or horseback riding in nature. Or visit the Lochem Golf Club with 18 holes, 2 km away. Vorden also has 8 castles (some of which can be visited), a train station, bicycle rental, excellent dining options (including Hotel Bakker), and terraces. Visit the town of Lochem 7 km away, or the Hanseatic city of Zutphen 11 km away, or the MORE museum in Gorssel. The website Vorden.nl provides a good overview of everything there is to see and do in the area, with many great tips for routes and sights.
