Sporty excursions
From Buitenplaats de Mechelerhof you can set out on all kinds of sporty adventures. Swimming, mountain biking, road cycling or hiking, for example. But there’s even more to do, such as visiting indoor and outdoor pools, or skiing in an indoor hall.
Enjoying a swim
On warm days, nothing is better than cooling down with a swim. And when the weather is less favorable, a trip to an indoor pool is just as much fun. Here are some nearby options:
- Swimming pool Mosaqua in Gulpen: Just around the corner from our park, you’ll find the subtropical paradise Mosaqua, perfect for indoor and outdoor water fun.
- Aquana Freizeitbad in Germany (~30 min): This versatile pool just across the border combines relaxation and fun. With slides, wave pool and wellness facilities, it’s ideal for a day out with the whole family.
- Sportfondsen Pool Hoensbroek (~30 min): A pleasant indoor pool with plenty of space for both recreational swimming and laps. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
Two more tips in Aachen, about 15 km from our park: the outdoor pool Hangeweiher, with fountains, slides and a water play area for children, and the historic Elisabethhalle – a Jugendstil swimming hall built in 1911, still in its original state.
Sporty indoor activities in South Limburg

On the slopes for skiing
You can also hit the slopes in South Limburg. No, not on one of the hills that the region knows. But in SnowWorld, in Landgraaf. Tie under the thin skis, grab the snowboard and brave the snow. Ideal for a day out during your holiday in Limburg.

Cycling and hiking
Also for cycling and walking, Buitenplaats De Mechelerhof is the place to be. In fact, we love cycling and walking so much, that we have created several facilities for them at our Buitenplaats. The hills of South Limburg are perfect for an intensive bike ride or a relaxing walk. See our cycling and hiking page for more information about routes, for example.
