Veluwe - based in one hotel
Veluwe centre based tour
Arrival in Garderen
Individual arrival in Garderen. You will receive your bike (if booked) and important information for your cycling trip.
Today you reach the Hanseatic town of Harderwijk, which is situated on the coast of Lake Veluwe with its many historic buildings. If you feel like a swim, take advantage of the beautiful beach for a relaxing stay. The way back takes you through the Ermelo Heath with its wide and charming landscape.
You cycle through the forest and heath of the western Veluwe to the more open, urban landscape near Amersfoort. Amersfoort has a well-preserved medieval town centre, numerous historic buildings and monuments, canals and cosy restaurants and cafés. Passing the Stoutenburg Castle, your way leads back to the hotel. From Amersfoort you can take the train.
Nature and art form a delightful mix in the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The forests, moorland lakes and heathland are home to many protected animals and plants. The visitor centre reveals a lot about the history, culture and nature of the park. A place of art is the Kröller-Müller Museum, which has, among other things, the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world and a very beautiful sculpture garden.
Today you can first admire the gardens of Het Loo Castle, which are among the most beautiful gardens in Europe. Afterwards you will reach Apeldoorn. The city offers you a lively mix of historical buildings such as the Grote Kerk, art sites such as the museum of modern art called CODA, restaurants, shops and nature areas such as the Apenheul Zoo, which is home to many monkeys.
Individual return journey to your home town or start of your extended stay in Garderen.
