Loosdrecht, a haven for water sports enthusiasts, offers endless possibilities for an unforgettable holiday or day trip. Its five interconnected lakes, including the Vuntusplas, Stille Plas, and a pristine drinking water lake, provide 3,600 hectares of aquatic playground. Nicknamed "Holland's Water Garden," Loosdrecht also caters to those seeking tranquility. The unspoiled Vuntusplas, with its restricted motorboat access, is perfect for exploring by rowboat or canoe, allowing visitors to discover the area's rich flora and fauna along the scenic Vuntus route. Sailing and surfing schools abound at the lake's numerous marinas, welcoming all ages and skill levels. Beyond the water, Loosdrecht offers a diverse range of activities, from fishing, boat tours, and shopping to tennis, mini-golf, art, strolls, and concerts. The village also boasts a thriving culinary scene. Even on less sunny days, entertainment options are plentiful, including indoor swimming, tennis, and squash, riding stables, snooker and bowling center, and even dedicated spaces for children's parties. Throughout the high season, Loosdrecht comes alive with weekly events, such as vibrant evening markets with live music on Oud Loosdrechtsedijk and the annual fair on Nootweg in Nieuw Loosdrecht. Don't miss the magical gondola parade held every year on the third Saturday of August, a truly captivating spectacle on the water. In late June, the "Rondje Loosdrecht" boat trip offers live music, snacks, and drinks along a picturesque route.
