If you’re looking for a hotel in Teuge, you can plan your stay around your interest in aviation, architecture, or local history.

Teuge Airfield: Experiences at and above the airfield

Teuge Airport is in the municipality of Voorst. Training flights, skydiving, and gliding take place there. Sightseeing flights over Teuge and the surrounding area are also offered from the airfield. If you want to include a flight as a key part of your plans, check the current offer details, as operational information may vary.

Other options bring you closer to aviation technology: visitors can take a seat in a realistic cockpit, provided this experience is available from the operator. At the airfield, Yellow Wings offers a gate-to-gate Boeing 737 simulator experience. As operator details may change, it’s worth checking the information before making plans.

Nationaal Paracentrum Teuge offers tandem skydives; booking and availability may vary. For those interested in how the airfield operates, the Teuge Airport Tour is another option. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at aviation companies and clubs at and around the airfield. As part of the guided tour, visitors gain access to areas that are not normally readily accessible. Tour dates may vary. A small passenger bus is used for transport around the airfield.

There’s also a way to connect your stay with the surrounding area on foot: a Klompenpad trail can be accessed directly from Vliegveld Teuge, leading through the IJssel Valley around Teuge. Check trail conditions before setting out. The sightseeing flight, simulator, tour, and walking route each offer a different focus, so you can choose whether to experience Teuge from the air, with a closer look at aviation on the ground, or on foot.

Airbase, churches, and a distinctive barn

The history of Teuge Airbase dates back to the Second World War. The German occupiers built the complex to resemble a small farming village. The village-like design served to camouflage the bunkers. The connection between its appearance and purpose makes the airbase a distinct chapter in the history of the area.

Rehoboth is a Rijksmonument, a listed national monument, built in 1907 as a community and Sunday school building for the Dutch Reformed Church. Another church history goes back further: the former Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerk began holding services in a farmhouse in 1836. In 1851, the congregation built its own church in Teuge, which remained in use until 1968. These dates distinguish the start of services in the farmhouse from the later construction of the church and its period of historical use.

Another striking building is Het Kleine Zand. The fully timber-built, board-clad barn has a thatched half-hipped roof. Its distinctive features include unique timber joints and a high roof. Here, the construction takes center stage: the building’s construction, materials, and roof shape give it a distinctive architectural character.

Plan your stay around your interests

Teuge offers different starting points for planning a trip, without requiring a set itinerary. At the airfield, options range from sightseeing flights and a simulator to tandem skydiving and a guided tour; the Klompenpad adds a scenic element. The historic sites, meanwhile, tell stories of the airbase’s camouflage, church use, and distinctive timber construction.
