Cycling route National Landscape Veluwe and Kroondomein Het Loo

You ride through vast coniferous and deciduous forests and cross open heathlands where the light has free rein. Narrow paths and broad sandy tracks alternate throughout the route, creating a ride that constantly feels different while remaining peaceful. With a bit of luck, you may spot wildlife along the forest edge or hear woodpeckers among the pines.

The straight avenues and historic hunting roads give this cycling route a stately rhythm and create long sightlines through the greenery. You notice how nature and history come together here in ancient reclamation landscapes, burial mounds, and distinctive Veluwe heritage features. This makes every kilometre not only beautiful, but also rich in stories.

Where the forest gives way to the surrounding countryside, fields, meadows, and small farmsteads open up into wide views. It is precisely this contrast between enclosed woodland and open land that makes the cycling varied and enjoyable, especially at a relaxed pace. On clear days, the landscape here feels remarkably spacious.

Here, the Veluwe is gently rolling, with subtle climbs and soft descents that give the route extra character. You cycle over sandy ridges and through low-lying areas where streams and wet zones bring more greenery and coolness. As a result, the landscape constantly changes along the way.
