Places to visit in Veldhuizen
Hoge Veluwe National Park

About this place
This expansive national park is one of the largest continuous nature reserves in the Netherlands, featuring a diverse landscape of heathlands, sand dunes, and woodlands. Visitors can explore the vast terrain via the park's famous free white bicycles, which are available at various entrances. The park is home to significant wildlife, including red deer and wild boar, and offers miles of paved and unpaved paths for walking or cycling. It is a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the quiet, rugged beauty of the Dutch landscape away from urban centers.
Bring your own bike if you plan to cover long distances, though the park's white bikes are excellent for casual exploration.

The architecture of the building itself, designed by Henry van de Velde and Wim Quist, integrates seamlessly with the surrounding forest, creating a unique environment where art and nature coexist in perfect harmony for visitors to enjoy.
