Mud on your shoes? Check! You are a real hiker.
The easiest way is to start your route at the ‘t Leesten Information Centre. This is a perfect starting point where you can park and walk or cycle to Radio Kootwijk or the sheepfold in Hoog Buurlo and discover the Veluwe. You can also find the most beautiful walking and cycling routes through the Hoenderlose and Ugchelse forests here. This information centre also has a souvenir shop, an exhibition and a brasserie.
