for the spring
The best preparation
Tips for your stay in spring
Spring is alive! After a long hibernation, De Maashorst awakens in all its glory. The flowers start to bloom all over, the birds seem to whistle like never before and the days get longer. Spring fever gives us a lift too. As soon as the spring sun makes an appearance, we all love to head outdoors.
Spring is a wonderful season to stay at Holenberg. However, it is good to bear in mind the cold nights and the crowds during holiday periods. Read all about the best preparations for a spring stay here so that you can enjoy nature to the full.
BARE FEET
Make the most of going barefoot as much as possible during your stay. It brings you a little closer to nature by being directly connected to it. If you don’t want to walk barefoot outside the cabin, bring sandals with you so that you can easily walk in and out of the cabin.
SUN PROTECTION
You need to protect yourself from the sun’s UV rays all year round. It’s especially important to remember this as we come out of winter. Choose sun cream with an SPF protection factor, drink plenty of water and wear protective clothing if you prefer.
TICKS
Whenever you have spent time in nature, it’s a good idea to check there are no ticks on your body or in your clothes. Bring a pair of tick tweezers with you, just to be sure. Don’t forget to check the hairline, ears and neck. If it’s a peak tick season, stay on the paths as much possible, wear closed shoes and keep your arms and legs covered. You can also use DEET on exposed skin.
MOSQUITOES
Even though mosquitoes mainly appear in summer, they can sometimes be quite active in spring. If there are mosquitoes around, there is a mosquito net in your cabin that you can wrap around the bed. Make sure you use a good insect repellent with DEET, especially at sunrise and sunset.
COLD
Things can cool down quickly in the evening and at night in spring. Be sure to pack an extra warm jumper or sweatshirt so you don’t get too cold. Do you want to sleep under the stars? Then make sure you have several layers of clothing on.
