Having set up camp in the outskirts of Arnhem we found ourselves perfectly placed for a day at the Hoge Veluwe Park. It’s the largest privately owned nature park in the Netherlands with 5,000 hectares of woodland, heathland, drift sands and peat bogs.
With
1700 free white bikes, visitors can make use of the 43km of bike paths to
explore this extraordinary place. Happy to ditch our bikes for the day we loved
cycling around the park load-free! The weather was naturally windy but with the sun out
we spent a relaxing hour or so sunbathing by the many helpfully placed picnic
benches.
The 13km to the Visitors Centre from the entrance was worth it for the
information about the animal habitat, methods of maintenance and history. From
there the Kroller-Muller Museum and Sculpture Garden satisfied my artist
interests. A great day out for the family. I highly recommend.
