Discover the area's hidden secrets
Luttenberg “the Pearl of Salland”
The village of Luttenberg, also called “the Pearl of Salland”, has approximately 2,255 inhabitants. It encompasses a total area of 2,296 hectares. The village center includes a few cozy terraces, supermarket, snack bar, church, sheepfold, doctor’s office and outdoor swimming pool. The Lourdes Grotto has been a principal attraction since 1915 at a crossroads in the center of Luttenberg. It is the only public Mary shrine in Salland. The Lourdes Grotto was built in 1914-1915. The statue of Mary featured in the cave wall comes from Cuypers’ studio.
Often time seems to have stood still here. Walking alongside farmlands and farmyards with fruit trees, you will feel how true rural life must have once played out here.
Adjacent to the village of Luttenberg is the isolated Luttenberg nature reserve, part of the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park. The origin of the Luttenberg goes back a long way. The area was created in the Ice Age and is part of a moraine. The Luttenberg offers a variety with surprising views, various elevations (the highest point is 31 meters!), coniferous and deciduous forest, some heathland, coppice groves and fields. An oasis of peace in the middle of the farmland.
Taking care of nature is what residents and guests do here together. Look for the secret of Luttenberg, discover the medieval cart track from the time of Napoleon and imagine a way back in time.
