The Loop of Roden

On Saturday 8 July, the cycling event of the North will again take place. The Loop van Roden is a prominent name on the list of northern criteriums and enjoys national recognition. It also brings with it a lot of Rôner sociability, with packed terraces and a lot of happy faces. Especially on the terrace of Onder de Linden, where you will find a real VIP tent.

Big names and local heroes

The Loop of Roden has an impressive list of former participants, including cycling greats such as Erik Dekker, Lieuwe Westra and Johnny Hoogerland, who went on to make a name for themselves in the Tour de France after their appearance in Roden. But local greats like Marco Bos, Stefan Poutsma and Patrick van der Duin also rode their laps in Roden's loop. Who knows, maybe the future Tour de France winner will ride through Roden!

VIP area at Onder de Linden

The start and finish of the Loop of Roden is right in front of Onder de Linden. Sensation all around. For the real cycling fans, we therefore have a real VIP area. Here you can enjoy the race in a special VIP tent while enjoying a snack and a drink. Access to the VIP area is by invitation only.

The magic of attention: a signal from a grasshopper

At home, it begins. I walk through the house and watch our kitten Mio. He is focused and alert. On the floor is a green grasshopper. One tap with Mio's paw. A high arc through the air. I feel excitement and fascination at the same time. As if nature comes in for a moment and whispers: look, listen, move with me.

The magic of attention. My compass in hospitality and growth

Learning is feeling. It goes beyond knowledge or theory. It's in small moments: a look, a breath, a hand falling silent for a moment. As I write this, my shoulders sag and a smile appears. Learning is not just knowing, it is experiencing, moving, trusting.

Summer agenda

With the holidays approaching, we introduce our summer calendar. Even more fun every weekend at Hotel Onder de Linden from 5 July to 5 September 2021.

North Dutch Neutjee Shooting Championship at Onder de Linden

Fine traditions should be cherished. The Vereniging voor Volksvermaken Roden traditionally organises the neutjesschieten at Onder de Linden every year on Easter Monday. A game for young and old that involves precision and tactics. This year there will be a very special edition of this old Drenthe-Groningen tradition; the North Dutch Neutji Shooting Championship!

From tree to bar table

At Onder de Linden, we value history and the story behind our place. A great example of this is the old lime tree. The iconic lime tree was always an important part of our terrace. Unfortunately, the tree had to be cut down recently. But instead of saying goodbye, we gave it a new purpose: as a robust bar table on our terrace.
