Cycling Route National Landscape Veluwe and Kroondomein Het Loo
Cycle through an impressive Veluwe landscape of forests, heathlands, drifting sands and stream valleys, interwoven with stately avenues, country estates and open farmland.
The Landscape
The Veluwe is one of the largest and most varied natural landscapes in the Netherlands, shaped by extensive forests, open heathlands, drifting sands and gently rolling sandy terrain. Around Uddel, the route enters the northern part of the Veluwe, where quiet forest roads and open heathlands create a spacious and peaceful cycling landscape.
The route also passes through the wooded landscape of Kroondomein Het Loo, where extensive forests, historic avenues and secluded paths reflect centuries of royal land management. The combination of natural landscapes, cultural heritage and subtle elevation changes makes this area particularly attractive for cycling.
What You'll Discover Along the Way
