Hoge Veluwe National Park
National Park de Hoge Veluwe has changed dramatically over the centuries. In the Middle Ages, the area consisted of large drifting sand complexes. At the end of the 19th century, many trees were planted to give this sand more hold. Some areas were subsequently deforested, but in other places the trees were left standing. This is how the varied landscape of today came into being.
