The Veluwe, a paradise for cycling enthusiasts

Cycling enthusiasts will never tire of the Veluwe. And how could you not, you can cycle for miles through the forests. Along the way, you'll pass several historical sights.

Picturesque Gortel. From here, you can drive straight into the vast forests of the Veluwe. Nothing beats a leisurely bike ride between the deciduous and coniferous trees. Nestled in the heart of the forest lies Gortel, a charming hamlet that enjoys a protected village view thanks to its well-preserved old farmhouses. What a picture!

The Aardhuis: As you drive from the woods onto the Elspeetse Heide, the landscape suddenly opens up. Enjoy the tranquility here; with a bit of luck, you'll encounter the flock of sheep grazing here. Further on, you'll pass the Aardhuis, the former hunting lodge of William III, which now serves as a museum. Here, you're guaranteed to see wild boar up close. Through the woods, you'll pass Hoog-Soeren, a protected village known for its authentic, historic character.
