A centrally located venue makes all the difference. Whether you are bringing together colleagues from Groningen, Eindhoven, or Amsterdam: Landgoed de Horst is easy to reach, both by car and by public transport. The location in the middle of the Netherlands, just outside Utrecht, offers not only practical convenience but also the advantage of peace, space, and green inspiration. No traffic jams or urban hustle and bustle, but fresh air, birdsong, and the space to step out of fixed patterns of thinking. This creates room for reflection, creativity, and a fresh perspective on collaboration. This makes Landgoed de Horst exceptionally suitable for organizations that want to strengthen their team dynamics in a different environment.

This teambuilding location in the middle of the Netherlands is also ideal for national organizations or teams that do not often meet each other in person. Because everyone comes together in a central place, there is literally room for connection, with enough time to also spend time together informally. A walk after lunch or a shared dinner in the evening ensures that conversations go beyond the agenda.

"What made the difference for us? The creative design of the program, the tranquility of the forest, and how our team truly rediscovered one another. We returned not only with ideas, but above all with a sense of connection." – Team leader at an innovation agency.

Every organization is different, and every team requires its own approach. That is why Landgoed de Horst offers customized programs for team building. Consider:

• Reflective walks through the forest
• Workshops on communication, trust, or collaboration
• Creative outdoor assignments or shared challenges
• GPS routes or treasure hunts with a substantive focus
• Silent assignments or mindfulness moments in the greenery
• Themed exercises focused on leadership or team roles

Our facilitators are happy to help design a program that fits your goals, team size, and available time. Do you primarily want to increase mutual trust, have more fun, or take time to reflect on team roles and collaboration? In consultation, we create a day schedule that suits your wishes. This makes every team day a valuable investment in the development of your people and contributes to lasting change in the workplace.

What makes Landgoed de Horst truly special is the surroundings. With 24 hectares of woodland, lawns, and terraces, the grounds offer endless possibilities for outdoor activities. Let the team unwind during a silent walk or take on the challenge with a playful team assignment. Nature helps people detach from their daily work and provides fresh energy. Group processes deepen almost naturally when the setting is right. Our outdoor spaces are also flexible in use and available in all seasons.

Even indoors, nature is never far away: large windows, natural materials, and works of art bring the outdoors inside and stimulate the senses and creativity. Many of our guests say that the green surroundings not only create a sense of calm, but also genuinely help them get to the heart of collaboration. Different conversations arise in the woods than in a standard meeting room.

Sometimes connection takes time. That is why a teambuilding location with overnight accommodation is an excellent choice. After an intensive day of being active together, reflecting, and working on team goals, it is nice to be able to stay where you are. Our comfortable country estate hotel has 113 rooms, all bright, quiet, and designed with art and nature as sources of inspiration. The rooms vary in character and are furnished with an eye for calm, comfort, and aesthetics.

In the evening, there is an opportunity for a shared dinner at Restaurant Kontrast or an informal drink on the terrace. The atmosphere in the restaurant is informal, warm, and inspiring – a place where you get to know each other in a different way. The next morning, the program begins fresh and relaxed with breakfast. This way, you make full use of the potential of a multi-day teambuilding event.

"The combination of the natural surroundings, the great atmosphere, and the convenience of staying overnight on site made our team day a great success." – HR advisor, healthcare institution
