The ice rink of the Winterpleinfestijn in Gemert is not the largest ice rink, but it is the most beautiful in a special location.
An ice floor of almost 400 m2 located on the village square of the Boerenbondsmuseum in Gemert; a nostalgic environment where the old Dutch feeling of coziness and hospitality is very normal. The ice rink is surrounded by picturesque buildings, which makes you feel like you are in a scene painted by Anton Pieck himself.
