Hospitality in the Grenspark

A Grenspark without hosts and hostesses is like heathland without heather. Many visitors combine their walk in the Grenspark with a snack, drink or overnight stay. Thanks to our network of hosts and hostesses, it's all possible! You can easily find them via our digital experience map:

The Grenspark hosts and hostesses are the area's ambassadors. They are happy to share their knowledge of the park and nature with guests and visitors. They have all completed the course 'Being hospitable in the Grenspark'. As a result, they have learned a lot about nature, the landscape, cultural history and recreational opportunities in their area. This equips them with countless interesting facts that they are happy to pass on to visitors. But first and foremost, these recreational entrepreneurs are ready to spoil you (in a culinary sense)!

The hosts and hostesses of the Grenspark distinguish themselves by their genuine commitment to the area. Partly because of this, they are able to respond well to the needs of visitors. They also create support for the preservation of our beautiful landscape, for which the Grenspark is very grateful.

You can find more information about the region at the Tourist Services office.
