Stichting Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe Reviews

A very beautiful park where you can have fun for a day. There are white bicycles that you can take with you through the park. This is highly recommended

In my opinion one of the nicer places in the Netherlands

Beautiful national park. It is a pity that you cannot enjoy this beautiful Dutch nature for free, but that you have to pay an entrance fee of 11 euros. However, this money is necessary to maintain the park in this state. I was here during the day and unfortunately didn't see any game. Only slightly wild people.

Great beautiful park something for everyone. Fun for the Kids but it is not an amusement park as some visitors think and that is a pity.

Great day out. We parked outside the park at the Otterlo entrance and walked the 2 min walk to the entrance to pay. One adult ticket is 10.95 euros and the carpark is just under 4 euros. (You get given a ticket with a barcode on for the carpark and scan it to exit the carpark.) Yo u can also buy a map of the park but there are free maps on boards around the park too.
Even with COVID-19 the free white bikes are still available. We would definitely recommend biking as the park is huge. No gears which does make it a little dificult over some of the bumps/small hills and to brake you have to pedal backwards. The bikes are available at all the entrances, but if you leave your bike in a more secluded bike station and explore by foot, don't expect your bike to be there when you come back. But it isn't far to find another bike at another bike station. There are big bikes and also small bikes. The seats adjust and there's child seats on the back of all the bikes where you can strap in your bag.
Due to COVID-19 there is a one way sytem for bikes so plan your route.
We didn't see any animals and it wasn't the best time of year to see the heather in bloom but the different terrians are amazing - forest, sandunes, dry desert like shrubs...
Lots of picnic benches around. In the center of the park there is a kids playground, toilets, food places but COVID-19 means the toilets are not open. The museum is also not open at the moment. There are however drinknig water taps to fill up water bottles, and you can order food at a couple of places in the park -hot and cold food.
All in all this park is definitely worth a visit!

A beautiful area full of nature and animals, but also for cycling.

Too bad that the park only has 6 electric bicycles for rent. That was just a disappointment.

Kijk in de avond bij de voederplekken. Ze ziet de edelherten van dichtbij

Nice walk Hubertus route 10.3 km
Safety belt on the high chair of the white bikes can be better and safer!

The landscape is varied, great bike paths harmonize with the free fietsen

Bike in forest, wilderness, desert, grassland and museum. We will come back soon.

A very beautiful national park, invites you to linger. To explore by car, bike or on foot. There you can spend a very nice day.

Nice national park in the heart of the Netherlands.

Wonderful cycling through the national park. Very nice that there are several bicycle sheds spread throughout the park, so that you can leave or take a bicycle with you at any time. Bicycles are of good quality and easy to adapt to your own wishes.
The only point for improvement are the toilets. Unfortunately, these are not often present. Something to keep in mind before you go: don't drink too much beforehand!

Beautiful, nice and quiet... Utilize the famous White Bikes to get around: more than 1000 available free to borrow

In some parts of the park the nature is beautiful, however in some parts it feels very "laid out" by tourism and flora (eg trees perfectly lined up). Little to no fauna seen, but many security cameras. The entrance of 10.95 per day is a lot. There are plenty of other beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands that are cheaper or free.

Beautiful park with great facilities such as cycling, something to eat, drink, you name it

Beautiful cycling. Couple of deer seen. Recommended!

Beautiful natural park. A tip: be clearer about the rules! For example, about where you can and cannot walk / drive

The entree price is incredibly high! The park is well maintained.

Beautiful park, unfortunately not everything was open due to corona, but there is plenty to see and experience.

Even with the engine it is nice to chug around here!
Who what ..? high price means that no one and everyone is driving around here so that it is a bit exclusive .

The park is really nice. We spent 5 hours there riding and the lunch at the central location was good food for the price you pay. I would highly recommend taking the bikes after you pay for entrance rather than driving through.

This is a beautiful nature reserve. We were given a tour by one of the managers, and that made for a great experience. He showed all sorts of things that I would not have noticed otherwise.

A few groups of pigs made the walk complete. The deer unfortunately had an ADV day, we only saw some traces.

Beautiful park, to ride by bike and early in the morning

The new visitor center Park Paviljoen has beautiful meeting rooms with balconies. There is an extensive menu and you are in the middle of a beautiful piece of Dutch nature.

Jammer dat het regenachtige weer veel bezoekers in de auto hield. Er zijn namelijk meer dan duizend gratis fietsen te leen! Wat een service. Het park heeft gescheiden rijbanen voor fietsers en gemotoriseerd verkeer.
De prijzen in de diverse horeca zijn redelijk te noemen.

Great place for a day trip! Popular destination with many people. However, the experience, as a whole, seeded a question about the implication of making "so easy" the access to nature (like having a network of roads and bikeways): in one side, people will not protect what they do not know. On the other, you cannot experience nature of you arrive to the park 'by car', you enter with it and you take a seat to "enjoy nature" as if it is only 'entertainment'

Het mooiste park van Nederland, heerlijk om fietsend de natuur genieten

Nice and nice park to walk around and cycle for a day. too bad there was not much wildlife to see. then it is better to walk a long route outside the park, far fewer people (great advantage if you want peace like us) and much more wildlife!

Lovely national park with extraordinary nature and art and well-maintained infrastructure.

Amazing landscape. Great gallery. Definitely try to visit this place out. Particularly when it is beautiful weather like today.

Beautiful nature, cool wildlife, awesome place to spend the day taking a walk, biking, climbing and site seeing. Been here dozens of times and even on the busiest of days you can walk the woods and not meet another person

Wonderful for walking and enjoying the Veluwe beauty

It's nice for a bike ride and nature sightseeing. We had no luck with animal wildlife though, so don't get your hopes up.

Park simply amazing even if the entrance is a bit expensive

Beautiful park, good choice for a one-day cycling trip. Very nice sand drift.

I paid 40 that we could ride in the woods I see it is a place for the people who should be in the city without the forest. zaplatili.sme.40 aby sme sa mohli bicyglovat v parku. Mozno zaujimave pre ludi z velkeho mesta. Ale not pre nas ...

With 4 people paying almost 40, to be allowed to cycle alternately through a barren plain and a forest with your own bike. Smells like a rip off.

Beautiful national park with a wide diversity of nature.

Gezellig familie markt met ambachtelijke streekprodukten

The visit in the autumn is incomparable. The multicolored trees, the multitude of beautiful mushrooms in the trunks and fields and the facilities for hiking and bicycle availability for those who wish to make this park an ideal place to rest your mind.

Super beautiful! I like to come back when it is warmer.

A beautiful area, you can walk very nicely. We were not informed when purchasing our entrance ticket that there was a walking map especially for the Hoge Veluwe. Some hiking trails were also not accessible during this period.

Wonderful cycling, beautiful surroundings. Sometimes a little busy on weekends and during holidays. Weekdays are better.

The routes weren't that clear. Even if you looked on the map (you have to pay for aswell) you still don't really know where to go. Besides that, the nature you saw around you was still stunning! So i would still recommend going here!

A must for everyone. Much to see and learn about the nature and history of the Veluwe.

A nature park where everyone can have fun all day and for the photographers among us you can take beautiful photos of nature and wildlife that roam freely there.

Beautiful nature with special encounters
And very good service at the restaurant and visitor center

Super beautiful nature. The car, bicycle and walking paths rarely cross each other. Very nice that you can just use a bicycle.
