Latest Lochem hotel reviews
RoyJava Says: Probably a little, wooden church was the centre of Lochem in the 8th century. This stone building got replaced in around the first millennium (1000 AD), and not until the 12th century the West-tower was seen which in 1903 got its high peak. Within the St. Gudula church you...
RoyJava Says: Lochem is located in the "Achterhoek" of province Gelderland (East Holland), meaning something like "in the corner's backyard". For a true city-dweller it is miles far away from city-life. Although raised close to the jungle of Papua Irian Jaya, Indonesia, the life on the...
RoyJava Says: See the beautiful, red stone-coloured City Hall in Lochem where we got "welcomed" by a blue ribbon hanging next to the City Hall (Hartelijk Welkom in Lochem - Welcome to Lochem).

RoyJava Says: When driving to Lochem from The Hague or any other city in West Holland you'll pass the national Highway A1. To reach the area of Lochem there's the "Provinciale Weg" (Provincial Road) N332. To find your way you can get informations at ANWB (see link). On the way you'll find...
RoyJava Says: It is well-known the Dutch are proud of their traditions, culture and country. So cows do play a big part of it, performing in a lot events, fairs, and crafts. Donot be surprised to see a cow on the roof, even it is a restaurant in Lochem. Or in the centre of a Lochem...
RoyJava Says: This is an amazing morning ... getting up kissed by such a beautiful country view, isn't it?It is so rusticly Dutch and so country atmospere.Staying at the Fletcher Paasberg Hotel you have the same possibility, though Lochem is built on a mountain, so the views anywhere has...
