King's art route

The Impressionist painters Arnold (1860-1945) and Edzard Koning (1869-1954) are known for the Verkade albums and beautiful landscape paintings, among other things. Both have immortalized a large number of Veluwe spots. This route passes some of these locations. You can start the route at any node on the route. The route can be cycled in two directions. Junction 61, near VVV Ede, is the starting point of this route. Ede was the residence of Arnold Koning between 1897 and 1910. His garden bordered on the cemetery. In 1903 Arnold Koning immortalized the'Grote Kerk in Ede\\\', on the Grotestraat in Ede center. Via'the Center of the Netherlands\\\' on the Goudsberg near Meulunteren you cycle towards Kootwijkerbroek. The paintings'Barneveld chickens\\\' by Edzard Koning and'Farmer with horses and cart on the heath\\\' by Arnold Koning were painted in these regions. In Kootwijkerbroek you can visit Kunst- & Antiekhandel J. Brunekreef (Veluweweg 52) where an extensive collection of King's Art is on display. After junction 25 at the Zeumeren recreation area, you pass Voorthuizen. Voorthuizen was the former residence of Arnold Koning between 1910 and 1945 and Edzard Koning's summer residence. Edzard painted the'Dorpsweg Voorthuizen\\\' here in 1930 and Arnold in 1910'View of Grote Kerk Voorthuizen\\\'. Further on you pass three special windmills. From node 48 near Appel you can see the octagonal corn mill De Hoop. A little past node 47 is the'Den Olden Florus\\\' (formerly called the Callenbroeckermolen) and a little past node 11, near the hamlet of Walderveen, you will pass the Walderveense mill. From here you can also easily drive into Barneveld to visit Museum Nairac (Langstraat 13). This museum has several King paintings in its collection. At node 60 there is a beautiful windmill. This Doesburger mill was immortalized by Arnold Koning in 1903. The standerd mill near the hamlet of Doesburg dates from 1620 and still runs on windy days. Via one of the oldest estates in the Netherlands, Kernhem, you return to the starting point of the route. © This cycle route is offered to you by the Veluws Bureau for Tourism.
