Hotel Norg

Hotel Norg? At Grand Café Hotel Karsten you will find a homely atmosphere and the allure of a four-star hotel. Enjoy neat rooms, good food and beautiful surroundings. Here you are guaranteed a fantastic stay. So we tell you exactly what makes this hotel and its surroundings so special. And give you a few tips on sights in advance.

Hotel Norg: luxury and a homely atmosphere

Grand Café Hotel Karsten is not just your average hotel. The property has a rich history that goes back three centuries. To the year 1713 to be exact, when Luchien Karsten started an inn. Today, the hotel still stands on the same spot and wears four beautiful stars. It is modern and fully equipped, but still has the nostalgic atmosphere of yesteryear. The hotel is located right in the center of Norg. Here you immediately notice the thirteenth-century Romanesque church.

 

A special combination

A luxurious stay and a homey atmosphere may sound like an unusual combination. But at Grand Café Hotel Karsten, it is. We make every effort to completely pamper the guests. With us you will find 26 luxurious rooms and suites in a cozy and informal environment. Your stay also always includes a sumptuous breakfast buffet. In addition, you can park for free in front of the door and your faithful four-legged friend can come along as well. One dog is allowed per room.

Staying overnight in Drenthe

When you want to completely unwind, Drenthe is the place to be. In Drenthe, in addition to many villages and farms, you will find numerous beautiful natural areas. Not for nothing is it the greenest province in the Netherlands. And what could be better than spending the night in a natural environment. Wake up completely zen and be in a beautiful nature reserve or green meadow within minutes. By the way, chances are you’ll be here by yourself. This is because the province of Drenthe is sparsely populated and does not have many large cities. That way you can enjoy all the beauty in complete peace. By the way, did you know that Drenthe is also a very good place for stargazing? All you need for this is a clear night and a clearing in nature. Another good reason to spend the night in Drenthe!

What is there to do near Norg?

In Norg, you definitely won’t be bored. The esdorp has several stores, cafes and restaurants. In addition, it is rich in history and you will find plenty of nature. These are the ideal ingredients for a day out.

Norg is located in the middle of Drenthe. The village has two supermarkets, a bakery, subtropical swimming pool, library and many restaurants and hotels. Within thirty minutes you can be in the city of Assen or Groningen. Ideal for a day of shopping or other cultural activity.

Dive into history

There are numerous old farms and brinks (village squares where cattle used to be gathered) in Norg. Just outside the village, you can admire the dolmens in Westervelde. Just down the road you will find a village that is on the Unesco World Heritage List: Veenhuizen. And that’s no mean feat. More than two hundred years ago, Veenhuizen was one of the seven Colonies of Weldadigheid. Here the poor, orphans, vagrants and beggars were forcibly taken in and had to work hard in the fields. This was done under the strict supervision of guards. Later, it became a prison. Now you’ll find the National Prison Museum there. That is definitely worth a visit!

Explore all the greenery

In addition to history, there is also plenty of greenery at our hotel in Norg. There are several forests: the Langeloërduinen, Oosterduinen and Molenduinen. These are located against the north side of the village. Because the forests lie against the village, it almost never blows. Around Norg you will also find many natural areas. Consider, for example, the Fochteloërveen, Norgerholt and Noordsche Veld. The national parks the Drents-Friese Wold, the Dwingelderveld and the Drentsche Aa should not be missed either. With all that greenery, Norg is very popular with cyclists and hikers for a reason. A beautiful bicycle or walking tour through the forests or across the moors is therefore a must.

It is now clear that you will not be bored near Norg. For both young and old, there is plenty to do in the area. To get you started a bit, we’ll give you some tips on fun places to visit below:

  • Golf Club Holthuizen (Roden) or Drentsche Golf & Country Club (Assen or Lauswolt)
  • Subtropical swimming and sauna paradise De Bonte Wever (Assen)
