Tour of the Veluwe from Apeldoorn

Your route starts at RG Tweewielers. In Apeldoorn you immediately enjoy the beautiful monumental buildings. You cycle straight through the forests of the Veluwe to the Kootwijkerzand: an unexpected desert-like sand plain of about 700 hectares where plants reach full maturity under harsh conditions. Transmitting station Radio Kootwijk was built in the 1920s to maintain contact with the then Dutch East Indies. From here you pedal through nature to Hoog-Soeren. This characteristic hamlet is one of the most beautiful villages in the Netherlands. You can cycle for miles through nature around Elspeet. You will pass various nature reserves that are part of Kroondomein Het Loo, originally a royal estate. The Wenum Watermill is one of the few remaining watermills on the Veluwe.
