National Park the Hoge Veluwe
National Park the Hoge Veluwe
The vast heathlands and forests of the Hoge Veluwe National Park are literally around the corner from your cottage at EuroParcs De Zanding. So get on your (white) bike or put on your walking shoes to explore this special nature reserve. After all, National Park de Hoge Veluwe is not only the largest national park in the Netherlands, in the middle of the park you will also find the Kröller-Müller Museum with the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world! Immense sand drifts await you in the Kootwijkerzand which is called "the Sahara of the Low Countries. Just like Radio Kootwijk; a striking building that graces the horizon and served as a transmitter mast a century ago.
Cozy towns and family outings
Cozy towns and family outings
There is also plenty to do for children in the area. EuroParcs De Zanding is located near Apeldoorn where you can imagine yourself a prince or princess at Paleis het Loo, watch monkeys at Apenheul or have an adventurous day at Children's Amusement Park Julianatoren. For vintage stores and boutiques, a visit to the beautiful city of Arnhem is highly recommended. Grab a bite to eat on the Rijnkade, have a picnic in Park Sonsbeek or walk into one of the city's museums such as the Open Air Museum and the Arnhem War Museum. Weather or no weather; in Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem you walk alternately through a tropical rainforest, in a sweltering desert or through a colorful underwater world.
