Hierden in 1 day

If you only have 1 day to spend in Hierden, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Hierden is a quiet village in the province of Gelderland, known for its traditional farmhouses and green, open countryside. It sits on the edge of the Veluwe region, giving easy access to forest and heathland walking and cycling routes, as well as nearby lakes such as the Veluwemeer. Historic estates and manor houses in and around Hierden, along with the medieval town of Harderwijk just a short distance away, add cultural and architectural interest to a stay here.
With favorites like IJssalon Stientje, Wellness Resort Zwaluwhoeve, and SPAR Christiaanse Hierden, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like IJssalon Stientje and bosrestaurant Het Draakje so you can get the best taste of Hierden while you’re here.

At Wellness Resort Zwaluwhoeve, guests are treated to a delightful experience marked by friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. While the absence of separate changing rooms for men and women may be a concern for some, many visitors find joy in socializing with friends and meeting new people. The resort features an inviting outdoor area that enhances relaxation, although weather conditions can impact enjoyment. Guests appreciate the serene natural surroundings and diverse sauna options available.
I loved it here, the staff was super nice. It did bother me that there weren’t separate changing rooms for men and women. I didn’t know that. I was there on bathing suit day, because I didn’t want men to see my private parts. Further I had much fun with my friends and I talked to lots of people. Definitely recommending this to people who don’t mind to share a changing room with men or women!

What an amazing facility. So spacious and clean. Very much different programs and saunas. We had a wonderful day till we went to the restaurant. The restaurant experience really broke the image the Zwaluwhoeve build up during the day. Self service is already not what you are aiming for on your relaxing day. But in addition the waiting times are so long that our soup and hamburger got cold while waiting for the pizza. The food quality was not inline with the price. So, for the wellness experience you definitely should go here. For the diner i would search some other place after the sauna.
Rene G — Google review
Such a nice experience. You feel so relaxed in nature. The food is good, but I don't love that it's buffet style. There is also a wide variety of sauna's and the lounge area is wonderful!
Renée Y — Google review
I have visited the place in January and it was very cold inside. The same with the temperature in the pools (inside and outside ones). Many people raised this issues, but nothing changed. I had to go into a sauna every 10-15 minutes to warm up. Quite unpleasant for a place where you suppose to relax and be comfortable.
Andreea R — Google review
I think its great place for rituals and massages while it has a variety of saunas, many of them are small and the place is usually crowded. Its weird how much extra unused space they have and do nothing with it. I disliked the restaurant and their food options, its also highly overpriced for self service.. apart from reception staff isn't that nice.
Rita B — Google review
I booked a family ticket for kids 6 years and up. My son was not allowed in because he does not have enough swimming diplomas which is not listed aa mandatory when making a reservation(only in their FAQ which is not brought to your attention when you book) they did not allow me access and made me pay a cancellation fee. This company scams their customers. I have never visited only heard bad stories, only wanted to try because they allowed kids, and then got SCAMMED. Unreal experience
Petra L — Google review
We had some nice time here. Fast check-in and friendly stuff. The only thing I was wondering if it is bad weather on how enjoyable the place is as it has mainly an outside area. But I guess it is still a nice place. We got lucky with the weather.
Kerstin R — Google review
For the past weeks I have visited this place twice. Overall the place is beautiful and you can really enjoy and relax, enough places to relax, however the biggest minus is food…. Really shame that in place like that food is terrible and stuff working there is unfriendly… like I mentioned I have been there twice in the past weeks and my stomach was twice upset. Wanna add as well that one man serving burgers was super super rude…. Overall great but the food experience just terrible.

Ice cream shop
On a delightful sunny day, I found myself at IJssalon Stientje, where I indulged in their signature sundae and a refreshing smoothie. Initially taken aback by the price of 11 euros for the sundae, my taste buds quickly convinced me it was worth every cent once I took that first bite. The ice cream was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, though some might find it slightly on the sweet side due to the strawberry sauce.
High quality ice-cream and a nice atmosphere in and around the shop

(Translated by Google) On a beautiful sunny day, we got a Stientje sundae and a smoothie here. When I saw the menu, I was shocked by the price: 11 euros for a sundae! But once it arrived and we started eating...delicious. It was totally worth it. The smoothie was also large and delicious. (Original) Op een mooie zonnige dag hebben we hier een coupe Stientje en een smoothie gehaald. Toen ik de kaart zag, schrok ik van de prijs, 11 euro voor een coupe ijs! Maar toen deze op tafel kwam en je begon te eten......heerlijk. Het was het helemaal waard. Ook de smoothie was groot en heerlijk.

(Translated by Google) Super delicious ice cream with a huge selection. There's something for everyone. A scoop costs €2, which is reasonable. (Photo shows two scoops 😅) (Original) Super leckeres Eis in riesiger Auswahl. Für jeden ist etwas dabei. Eine Kugel kostet 2€ , was angemessen ist. (Foto zeigt 2 Kugeln 😅)
Raik S — Google review
(Translated by Google) July 2025: The ice cream tasted good. I had caramel and raspberry. It was a rather warm day, and I felt like the ice cream wasn't cold enough to eat outside. On the patio, I had to bite very quickly to keep the rapidly melting ice cream under control. Final note: €2 for a scoop of ice cream is simply too much. Regarding the photo: It's great that the multiplication table of two is explained again. 😁 (Original) Juli 2025 De smaak van het ijs was goed. Ik had caramel en framboos. Het was een vrij warme dag en ik had de indruk, dat ik het ijs niet koud genoeg meekreeg om buiten op te eten. Want op het terras moest ik heel snel happen om het snel smeltende ijs onder controle te houden. Slotopmerking: 2 euro voor een bol ijs is gewoon teveel. Bij de foto: fijn dat de tafel van twee nog een keer wordt uitgelegd. 😁
Ron W — Google review
(Translated by Google) The ice cream was delicious, a bit too sweet with the strawberry sauce. It was beautifully presented, but still a bit overpriced. The service could be improved. You have to order inside yourself. After a bit of a wait, the ice cream and cone were brought to us. The coffee was forgotten, but it was brought back upon request. (Original) Eis war lecker, etwas zu süß mit der Erdbeersosse. Schön angerichtete aber dennoch etwas zu teuer. Der Service ist noch ausbaufähig. Bestellen muss man selbst im Innenbereich. Eis/Waffel wurde uns nach etwas Wartezeit gebracht. Kaffee wurde vergessen. Auf Nachfrage aber nachgereicht.

Nestled in the enchanting woods of Hierden, bosrestaurant Het Draakje is a delightful destination for families seeking a memorable dining experience. This charming grillhouse offers a unique table BBQ option, allowing guests to enjoy cooking their meals right at the table. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for children aged 7 to 11, who can explore the play and discovery area while parents relax.
Lovely place. Food is very good at the grill, which they prepared in 20minutes for only us! Amazing friendly people. Grilling options were sufficient and plenty

Hahahaa, love this place. For childeren in the age of 7 'till 11 years old a play and discover site. Beautiful basic grillhouse. But there is also a menu a la carte and choice of different dutch pancakes. Just enjoy the time being there. Nothing difficult, nothing to worry. Just eat from your grill. Tables are a bit small. But yeah...

We went to this place kindoff last minute but reservating a spot was no problem. The parking place was completely full though, we were lucky someone was leaving after a while. Entering the building and getting our table was a bit chaotic tbh, and it took a while (20 min) before we could even order drinks. The host did warn us that it was very busy though. We did the table BBQ but could still order pancakes for our kid which was nice, so points for family friendlyness. The food overal was good and fresh, with enough options. I would've liked it if it was a bit easier to order more drinks but it was clear they were a bit understaffed. All in all a good experience!
Tom G — Google review
The food isn't bad, per se... But one course for 6 people in a room that's hardly packed taking an hour is silly, and the plates arriving minutes apart is worse. After this average meal it took ages to get a chance to order an appetiser. Then it took ages to be informed that half the ingredients were out of stock. The coffee I ordered instead has yet to arrive... The two young guys doing service seem happy behind the counter.

Went here for an anniversary party. The food was appalling at best. Everything was oily/greasy and pretty tasteless. Cheaply produced masses of food in tins was our buffet. The dessert left much to be desired to. The staff was overwhelmed and couldn't handle the amount of people. Drink servings were bad and dirty plates didn't get taken away promptly. To boot there was no good air conditioning, the place stank of greasy fatty food in no time and it was a hot day too. We weren't allowed to sit outside because staff would get confused.. only at the end when we all left staff opened a door to let fresh air in. I don't know why they even said yes to this arrangement when they're clearly unable to provide a good service, which is what you pay for.. Maybe on a daily basis with normal menu/pancakes it's worth while, for a big group I wouldn't recommend this place!
Lord S — Google review
I liked sharing a family time in here. The service was very attentive and kind towards us. The food was very good, good meat and salads, but they need to implement more desserts than just Tiramisu and ice cream. Overall, very good experience.

SPAR Christiaanse Hierden is a charming neighborhood supermarket that truly embodies the essence of local shopping. While it may not be the largest store around, it boasts an impressive selection of fresh products, including deliciously baked rolls and high-quality meats from its in-house butcher. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit enjoyable. Although prices might be slightly higher than those at larger supermarkets, many customers find that the quality and variety offered make it worth every penny.
Good selection of food, very good fresh bread. Friendly staff. A local supermarket that punches well above its weight.

(Translated by Google) Jul. 2025. Great, well-stocked store. A true neighborhood supermarket with friendly staff. A bit more expensive than the big supermarkets, but you accept that. Freshly filled baguettes for around 4 to 5 euros. I had a stick of steak tartare, but I thought it was sparsely filled. A very thin layer of steak tartare, 3 slices of egg, and some chopped onion, and that was it. Definitely not worth the money. (Original) Jul. 2025. Fijne, complete winkel. Een echte buurtsuper met bijbehorend personeel. Een tikkeltje duurder dan de grootsupers, maar dat neem je dan op de koop toe. Verse belegde stokbroodjes van rond de 4 à 5 euro. Ik had een stokje filet americain, maar vond deze karig belegd. Een zeer dun laagje filet en 3 plakjes ei en wat snippers ui en dat was het dan wel. Het geld echt niet waard.
