Beautiful environment! From forest to sand drift and then heathland again. Really very beautiful. The free bikes that you can borrow are top notch and well maintained and you can follow various cycling routes via an app! Just a pity that we have not seen any animals but we have cycled wonderfully!
Too bad you have to pay almost 10 for something that carries the name National.
Great, also nice tour done in Jachtslot St Hubertus
Beautiful park, great nature. The "Early from the feather" excursion is definitely worth booking through the website.
Super nice park, where you can walk and cycle for hours, watch "wild". Nice visitor center with cheap restaurant and toilets. Nice that you can also do morning and evening tours!
Recreation park for all.Recharge your batteries. The museum and especially the sculpture garden next to it is something you take with you
I didn't find it that special but it is nice to bike with friends
Beautiful park! The best part is the free cycles to ride and explore this amazing area. So many different landscapes and views and the trail is mostly along a canopy of trees or vast grasslands . Well maintained. Will be back !
Nice area, but a lot of tourists. Especially the cycling is very nice.
The best! Don't hesitate, just go. Nice part of the Netherlands. White cycling concept is great; you grab a bike at the entrance and can enjoy touring through the park. Different types of nature, open plains, forests, sand drift, etc.
Only point of attention for the park itself; place a little more signage. Along the way you sometimes wonder if you are still cycling in the right direction.
Entrance expensive, but a beautiful park. The museum is definitely recommended and you can drink coffee by the water at the hunting lodge.
Wonderfully quiet and nice for cycling. So beautiful there.
Exceptional
A must see
An amazing place, beautiful, pastoral and fun for the whole family !!!
Recommended !!!! Recommended !!!
Onwaarschijnlijk mooie natuur. Grote verscheidenheid aan landschappen.
Nice park for walking and cycling. As a visitor to the park you can use the white bicycles for free.
Beautiful nature park, white bicycle and well maintained and fully present. Signage good
What no colored heather ... fantastic near Otterlo, beautiful colors ... and what a rest ... wonderful
Beautiful nature, and so spacious, where can you still cycle in the Netherlands and really only see nature around you? Wonderful place to get away from it all.
A great park for a free bike ride with an excellent museum in its center
Beautiful nature park where you can cycle. Very good that white bicycles are free to use to get from the parking lot outside the park to the center of the park for example.
Tandem rental also turned out to be cheap but 5 euros per person.
The environment is not bad, the forest rides a bicycle, and it is quite leisurely.
Remains a nice place to visit. Fantastic for cycling with the free white bicycles. Interesting museum, tailored to children!
You can indulge yourself here as a nature lover. Also a nice restaurant. Good food and the white bikes are always top !!! And when the renovation is complete, the play area will be more accessible for the children
Beautiful park and the free white bicycles remain unique. Free children's bicycles too! Take the time to visit.
Nature is full of beauty, peace. Cycling through the forests and the sand dunes really special and unique.
Always a pleasant visit, gave the museum a miss this time but had a great time biking around the park. Bit expensive for a short tour, have to make it the whole day to get your moneys worth.
Free prachtig ,, beautiful area, visitor center, restaurant and Coffee corner. make entrance price well worth it
It was a beautiful day today. Not too hot, a nice breeze. We picked a white bicycle at the entrance of Otterlo and cycled around all day. The bikes were in excellent condition as were the bike paths. We have even seen a deer. The tour in the hunting lodge was somewhat lengthy but well worth it for the youngest.
Het was de eerste keer in mijn 70-jarig leven dat ik op de fiets dit nationale park heb doorkruist. Fantastisch zo mooi !b
Well cared for, beautifully diverse nature park. The free 'white' bicycles are unique.
Super mooie natuur. Fijne fietspaden. De entree is wel redelijk hoog.
Great park! We have been with my mom and she we are very satisfied, nature reserve and can drive in by car !! Ideal for a picnic with family and friends !! Recommend!!
Beautiful national park with perfect infrastructure. Almost 40km of cycle paths in a very well condition. Bikes are free to use (included in the entrance ticket). Absolutely worth visiting for those who like nature.
7 car and 9 pp entrance, nice business model. Go for a walk somewhere else.
Een flinke wandeling gemaakt en verrast door een bijzonder evenement waar veel ouders met kinderen op af waren gekomen: sages en legendes.
En de jaarkaart aangeschaft en daar gaan we veel plezier van krijgen.
Weet je dat je 42 km kunt fietsen, herten en moeflons kunt zien in de schemering en nog veel meer...
Beautiful park and wonderful cycling. Only hefty admission price.
Super beautiful. Endless cycling and walking pleasure. Free bicycles available and 2 locations for drinking / eating. And a museum.
Very nice park, with free bikes to explore. Great destination
Nice park, only ask an entrance fee and then also a parking fee?
Nice area for walking or cycling on the free-to-use white bicycles via excellent cycle paths through a rolling landscape, forest, heath and sand drifts. You can spot game depending on the time of day. A party every time.
You see wildlife at the feeding places. Also some crossing deer. The maximum speed of 60 km is far too high.
Super nice but actually too expensive for a round of cycling. Especially because the rest of the Veluwe is free.
Beautiful park, you can go for a nice walk or take a trip on a white bicycle. There are also deer and mouflons, always special to see.
Relax in a beautiful setting with different landscapes.
The room was nice and so was the staff. I liked that the sauna could be reserved for private use. The swimming pool was also nice.
The only negative point was that there were not a lot of vegetarian choices for the breakfast. There was cereal and bread and croissant but the scrambled eggs were mixed with bacon.
Everything viewed: Museum, cycled, and a Burlex course. Beautiful day.
You can make beautiful walks and bike rides through the park. Entry price is worth it.
Very nice and great by bike where you can borrow free of charge
Nature is always good, not particular specialities, though.
The museum in the park is very good.
They have quite a lot of Vincent van Gogh's.
Not only the exhibits, but the way the museum stand is excellent. Surroundings and windows, outside garden, are in a good combination.
Beautiful park also with internal camper van services. Worth a day and maybe more for relaxation and greenery. It has lots of bikes at its disposal and a concrete track among unspoiled nature to travel fluids. It closes at 8pm but you can get in and out on foot or by bike (only your own) even if outside after 8pm there is only an open pub. But sometimes that's enough.
Fantastic! Enjoy nature and the great food in the Park Pavilion.
Different landscapes combined in one park, great network of cycle paths.
Really nice nature which you can explore by free white bikes. You can also hire a tandem which is funny to try.
Big national park, great adventure, didn't find many animals though
Beautiful nature wonderful for walking and cycling and with a bit of luck you will see a deer or a wild boar yourself
Nice park. Nice Christmas market. Saw your own Christmas trees. Totally awesome
Stichting Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe: A Green Treasure of the Netherlands
Stichting Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe is a non-profit organization that manages and maintains one of the largest and most diverse nature reserves in the Netherlands. Located in the province of Gelderland, this national park covers an area of 5,400 hectares and offers visitors a unique combination of natural beauty, art, architecture, and history.
The park was founded in 1935 by Anton Kröller and his wife Helene Müller as a private estate. They were passionate about nature conservation and wanted to create a sanctuary for wildlife where people could also enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding. To make their dream come true, they hired landscape architect J.T.P. Bijhouwer to design the park's layout with different habitats such as forests, heathlands, sand dunes, and ponds.
Today Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe is open to everyone who wants to experience its wonders. The park has several entrances where visitors can buy tickets or use their Museumkaart (a Dutch museum pass) to enter for free. Once inside the park, there are many things to see and do depending on your interests.

The park has over 5400 hectares (13 000 acres) with different landscapes such as forests with oak trees or pine trees; heathlands covered with purple heather flowers; sand dunes shaped by wind; grasslands grazed by red deer or wild boar; wetlands inhabited by birds like herons or ducks.
Visitors can explore these habitats on foot or by bike using one of the many trails that crisscross through them. There are also guided tours available led by knowledgeable guides who can explain more about each ecosystem's characteristics.
Art & Architecture
Another unique feature of Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe is its collection of modern art scattered throughout its grounds. The Kröller-Müller Museum houses over 90 paintings from Vincent van Gogh along with works from other famous artists like Pablo Picasso or Piet Mondrian.
In addition to this museum's impressive collection are several sculptures placed around various locations within the park itself - including works from Auguste Rodin - making it an outdoor gallery experience unlike any other!
