Heart of the Veluwe: Uddelse Buurtveld and Asselse Heide

If you are looking for the peace and quiet of nature, this part of the Veluwe forests is the right place for you. The route leads to the Asselse Hei, part of Kroondomein Het Loo. Cycling is wonderful in the vast forests and heathlands. You can gaze endlessly over the vast plain that is bordered by forests with large shrubs and trees. Nature is very attractive to explore by bike because the biodiversity in the area is great. Large game such as red deer and wild boar are no exception in this area and if you pay attention you will see the tracks they leave behind everywhere. But you can also encounter the Stag Beetle, an extremely rare species of beetle. Or, the smooth snake, the shy Honey Buzzard or the rare pine marten can also cross your path. The true nature lover will always enjoy it here! The route starts in the parking lot of Het Aardhuis Visitor Center located on the Aardmansberg, 102m above sea level. If you want more information about the Veluwe and the Oranjes, you have come to the right place in this stylish hunting lodge. If you want to see the hunting trophies of King Willem III and Frederik Hendrik, it is time to experience the Veluwe yourself. Before you enter the heath, you cycle past Hotel Restaurant Hoog Soeren where you can have a delicious lunch to complete the trip. It is also possible to go here to spend the night, so that you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings for two days, because route 139553 starts and ends at this location.
