Ter Apel

The Netherlands is known for its canals and windmills for a reason; every sight here looks like something off a postcard. Most tourists gather here to visit its capital Amsterdam to party! But there’s so much more to the Netherlands.

Netherlands

Home to some of the most beautiful gardens in the Netherlands, including Hortus Haren, Groningen is an unexpected gem nestled in the country’s northeast. Its capital of the same name is known for its student vibes, but the whole province is much more rural than you’d expect. 

Groningen

- Tucked away in the forests of Ter Apel is the cozy green Kabelbaan. The cable car comfortably fits 2 people or 1 and a bike. For hikers and cyclists, Kabelbaan is a nice little break on your journey. 
- Sit inside the cable car and get comfy, then begin your journey by turning the wheel on the side. It can be a bit hard for short arms to reach, so younger kids will have to stick to the passenger seat. 
- Kabelbaan is one of those quiet and hidden places most don’t come across. The cable car really is in the middle of nowhere! This hidden gem is close to a nature reserve and the nearby [Ter Apel monastery](/activities/netherlands/ter-apel-monastery?map=true), though, so there are other things to see around making this place a nice little detour on your adventure.
