Hoge Veluwe National Park
National Park in Arnhem

Hoge Veluwe National Park is one of the Netherlands’ most remarkable natural reserves, offering visitors a vast and diverse landscape to explore. Spanning over 5,400 hectares, the park combines dense forests, heathlands, sand dunes, and open grasslands, creating a unique environment that supports a wide variety of wildlife. It’s a perfect destination for those looking to escape urban life and immerse themselves in nature’s tranquillity, with well-maintained trails for hiking, cycling, and even horseback riding.
One of the park’s standout features is the free white bicycles available to visitors, making it easy and enjoyable to cover large distances without needing your own bike. These bikes allow you to explore the park’s extensive network of paths at your own pace, stopping to admire the flora and fauna or to take in panoramic views from elevated dunes. The park also houses several wildlife species, including red deer, wild boar, and mouflon, which can sometimes be spotted during quieter moments in the early morning or late afternoon.
Beyond its natural beauty, Hoge Veluwe National Park is also home to the Kröller-Müller Museum, a must-visit for art lovers. The museum boasts an impressive collection of modern art, including works by Vincent van Gogh, as well as sculptures displayed in a beautiful sculpture garden. Combining cultural enrichment with outdoor adventure, the park offers a well-rounded experience for visitors of all interests, making it a highlight of the Gelderland region.
