Vreeland is a picturesque village located on the Vecht River in the Vechtstreek, a region between the cities of Utrecht and Amsterdam. Located in the economic heartland of the Netherlands, the Vechtstreek is famous for its many mansions and parks, which bear witness to the wealth of the Dutch Golden Age. Vreeland is surrounded by numerous lakes, but aside from water activities, visitors come to enjoy the local hiking and biking routes. The Floris de Vijfde and Waterlinie paths were opened in 2004 and have since proved extremely popular. Two Michelin-starred restaurants, Tante Koosje and ’t Amsterdammertje, stand within about 2 miles of the starred restaurant of our recommended hotel, making it possible to turn a stay in Vreeland into a gourmet getaway.
