Our holiday apartment is located in a pleasantly quiet area of Hückelhoven. The surrounding region is perfect for exploring on foot, by bike, or by car, offering something for every taste. A guest favorite is the Millicher Halde, a former mining heap with the impressive “Stairway to Heaven” at its summit. From the top, you can enjoy a wide panoramic view across the Rur valley and all the way to the Lower Rhine. Just a few minutes away lies the Kapbuschsee, a peaceful lake with a sunbathing area, beach volleyball court, and snack bar – the perfect place to relax, swim, or simply enjoy nature on warm days. If you're looking to immerse yourself even deeper in nature, the nearby Schwalm-Nette Nature Park offers a wide range of picturesque hiking trails, rivers, small lakes, and quiet woodlands. We also highly recommend a day trip to the De Meinweg National Park just across the border in the Netherlands. There, you’ll discover a unique landscape of heathland, mixed forests, and a fascinating terraced terrain – a true paradise for walkers, photographers, and nature lovers. The region also has much to offer culturally. Rurich Castle, with its historic park, is perfect for a peaceful stroll. The small but fascinating Mining and Mineral Museum in Hückelhoven offers insights into the area’s coal mining history. The Haus Hückelhoven castle ruins are another interesting spot to explore while walking through town. When it comes to food, you’re in for a treat. One of our top recommendations is the “Männer Metzger”, a traditional family-run butcher shop known for its high-quality meats and in-house specialties – perfect for a BBQ or hearty meal. For dinner with a special touch, try the Aloha Beach House by the lake. And for those who love to shop, don’t miss a visit to the Designer Outlet Roermond just across the border – a shopper’s paradise with great brands at discounted prices. For your daily needs, you’ll find a variety of supermarkets, just around the corner.
