De Veluwe: one of the most beautiful regions of the Netherlands. And what's a better way to explore the area than on two wheels?
We all have our daily routes to follow. But if you're looking for some inspiration, then Fietsnetwerk.nl have already done the legwork for you.
Here are a few fun routes around the Veluwe to follow. Not only is there plenty of nature to see, but our hostels in Apeldoorn & Arnhem are great jumping-off points. So yeah, we might be a bit partial. 😉

A route through two nature reserves: National Park Veluwezoom and the Deelerwoud. See vast forests alternating with endless heathland and birds such as yellowhammer, wheatear and raven.
A route through Schaarsbergen, Otterlo and Ede. Discover why you should not be blinded by beauty, like Johan van Otterloo, or why the greed of canons was punished by Maarten van Rossum.

This route takes you along the royal palaces Soestdijk and crown domain Het Loo. Cycle past the "Versailles of the Netherlands" and wave back to Juliana and Bernard at their statue in Soestdijk.
With this cycle route, you are guaranteed a whole day enjoying the varied landscape. Or split it over several days and make a weekend of it.
