From Veenendaal to the Hoge Veluwe

National Park De Hoge Veluwe
Cycle from Veenendaal through the outskirts to Bennekom. This place has a long history. For example, in 2005, 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 the De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Here, the old Veluwe landscapes alternate rapidly. You will find deciduous and coniferous forests, mixed forests, wet and dry heathlands, grasslands and drifting sand landscapes. This variety of landscapes naturally also includes a large number of special animals such as the pearl butterfly, the red deer, the moor frog and the ringtail. You will be amazed by this park.
