To get the most out of your stay in Maarn, we have listed a few handy tips for you:

• Rent an (electric) bicycle in advance: The Heuvelrug has some challenging elevation changes (such as the Amerongse Berg). An e-bike makes exploring the region just a bit more comfortable.
• Book a guide at the Zanderij: Do you want to learn everything about the unique flora, fauna, and the boulders in the Zanderij Maarn? Then book a walk with a local guide.
• Visit the Kaapse Bossen: Just outside Maarn, near Doorn, lie the Kaapse Bossen. Climb the De Kaap watchtower for a spectacular panoramic view over the entire region.
• Reserve restaurants in advance: Maarn and the surrounding villages (such as Maarsbergen and Doorn) have excellent restaurants. Especially during weekends and holiday periods, booking in advance is highly recommended.
