Attractiepark Toverland is located in Sevenum. When planning your stay, this raises a practical question: should a visit to the park be the main focus, or would you rather explore the village and countryside on foot? The history of the area also offers a distinct way to discover Sevenum.
Toverland and getting there
Bus routes 79 and 679 run from Horst-Sevenum railway station to Attractiepark Toverland. The station is in nearby Hegelsom. It is served by Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) trains, as well as trains and buses operated by Arriva Personenvervoer Nederland. If you plan to travel by train and bus, check the connections for your travel date.
There are free, unattended bicycle parking spaces at the park, accessible from the public road. Both details matter when planning to arrive by bicycle: parking is free, but unguarded.
Hiking trails and countryside
Sevenum lies on the boundary between higher sandy soils and the lower stream-valley soils of the Groote Molenbeek and Blakterbeek. The countryside is therefore one of the specific themes of a stay here, not just the local attraction.
The “Mooiste wandelroute 2010” hiking route passes through the village and countryside of Sevenum and Kronenberg. Along the way, it passes meandering streams, water features and an area rich in birdlife. The route also includes an observation hut with binoculars. If you enjoy hiking and want to experience the countryside attentively, you’ll find several specific points of interest here to help plan your outing.
The Groene Fractie Sevenum countryside route starts at the market square in Sevenum. One route from Sevenum passes through the valley of the Groote Molenbeek and returns through a varied landscape with abundant nature. When planning, you can therefore use different features as points of reference: a named starting point, the route through the village and countryside, or the nature and observation spots described here.
Historical traces in Sevenum
A historic route ran from the parish church in Sevenum along Raadhuisstraat to the Mariakapel in Den Eigen. Its course followed the street alignment between three lime trees; the route also served as a procession route. The connection between church, street and chapel offers a different perspective on the area than a walk through the countryside.
The story of the “Lords of Sevenum” offers another distinct focus: the Van der Donck family is considered their earliest family. Together with the historic procession route, it provides a cultural perspective that encompasses both a specific route and a family history passed down through generations.
Plan your stay around what matters to you
If you plan to visit Toverland, the bus connections from Horst-Sevenum railway station may be useful for getting there. For an outing in the countryside, the hiking route, the starting point at the market square and the routes described offer different points of reference. If you’re interested in local history, you can include the historic procession route and the family history in your plans. Search for hotels based on the activities that matter to you during your stay.
