Description

On this route, the coziness of Utrecht and Gelderland towns is combined with the splendor of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. In short, you get the best of both worlds. Heaths are interspersed here with sand drifts, forests and towns such as Veenendaal and Bennekom.

National Park De Hoge Veluwe
Cycle from Veenendaal through the outlying areas to Bennekom. This place has a long history. In 2005, for example, remains of a farm from the early Iron Age (800 to 500 BC) were found and in the vicinity of the place you will find several burial mounds. From Bennekom you can cycle straight into the nature of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Here, the old Veluwe landscapes alternate in rapid succession. Here you will find deciduous and coniferous forests, mixed forests, wet and dry heaths, grassy plains and shifting sand landscapes. This variety of landscapes naturally also includes a large number of special animals such as the fritillary butterfly, the red deer, the moor frog and the ringworm. You will be amazed in this park.

Surprising Veenendaal
Veenendaal is located on the edge of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Gelderse Vallei. The town has a cozy village character, but the shopping area has a city-like feel. Come here for some shopping or settle down on one of the many cozy terraces in this city. In 2000, the city was chosen as the Bicycle City of the Netherlands and in 2004 as the greenest city in the Netherlands. As a cyclist and nature lover you are in the right place in Veenendaal.
