Hiking on the Veluwe

The Veluwe is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the Netherlands and offers a huge variety of nature. National Park De Hoge Veluwe is known for its expansive nature, rich biodiversity, and impressive wildlife. In addition, the Veluwe harbors other special areas, such as Kroondomein Het Loo and National Park Veluwezoom with the famous Posbank.

Forests, wildlife and lanes

In National Park De Hoge Veluwe, you walk through varied landscapes with pine forests, heathlands, and sand drifts. With a bit of luck, you might spot wild boars, red deer, or special bird species along the way. Kroondomein Het Loo is especially known for the expansive Palace Park of over 600 hectares. Here, you walk along stately lanes, ponds, and lawns, with routes leading you through forests and across heathlands. Here too, there is a good chance you will encounter wildlife, such as a badger or a fox.

Palace gardens and special walking paths

The Veluwe not only offers nature but also cultural attractions that are perfect to combine with a walk. At Palace Het Loo, you can walk through the beautifully landscaped palace gardens with fountains and classic garden statues. In National Park De Hoge Veluwe, the Landscapes Path is a must: this route takes you along several highlights, including the Kröller-Müller Museum and the impressive Pampelse Zand.
