Arnhem. You probably only picture cute shops, cobblestone streets, and maybe a museum or two, right? Well, there is so much more! This city is bursting with natural beauty, perfect for a weekend escape that’s way more than just “city life.”

My recent trip was a total game-changer. Forget crowded shopping streets, I was all about exploring the stunning nature Arnhem has to offer. Think lush parks, hidden trails, and the most breathtaking views. Seriously, I felt like I’d stepped into a nature documentary! 🌳

Here’s the highlight: I stayed at Hotel Haarhuis and let me tell you, this place knows how to do relaxation right. Imagine this: your own private sauna on a terrace overlooking the city. Yep, you read that right. After a day of hiking, I was soaking in those steamy vibes with a view. Talk about the ultimate unwind! ✨

Ready to ditch the usual city break and embrace Arnhem’s wild side? Here’s what you need to know:

• Explore the Veluwe: This national park is basically Arnhem’s backyard. Hike or bike through forests, heathlands, and sand dunes. Keep your eyes peeled for wild deer! 🦌

• Stroll through Sonsbeek Park: This place is straight out of a fairytale. Wander past romantic ponds, hidden waterfalls, and even a 18th-century mansion.

• Hike to the top of the Posbank: Okay, this one requires a bit of effort, but trust me, the panoramic views are SO worth it.
  Pro tip: Pack your hiking boots and your swimsuit (for that sauna action, obviously!).

Arnhem is calling for a weekend of nature, relaxation, and unexpected adventures. Who’s in?
