Nunspeet, Municipality in Gelderland, Netherlands
Nunspeet is a municipality in Gelderland that encompasses several villages including Hulshorst, Elspeet, and Vierhouten within its administrative area. The town center contains shops, services, and a railway station connecting it to major Dutch cities.
Nunspeet developed from its agricultural roots as Nuwenspete and became an independent municipality in 1972 following its separation from Ermelo. This restructuring established the area's modern administrative identity.
The market square in the town center is where residents meet for weekly markets and the annual De nacht van Nunspeet festival. It remains a place where the everyday rhythm of community life can be observed.
The best time to visit is during the weekly markets or summer festivities when the center comes alive. The bus and train network makes it easy to explore the various villages and nearby areas.
The municipality borders the Veluwemeer lake and contains de Zandenplas, a recreational area with a small lake surrounded by sandy woodland. These natural spaces offer opportunities for water sports and nature activities throughout the year.
