CYCLING ROUTE · GELDERLAND
Cycling Route Veluwe Springs and Wetlands
Cycle through a varied Veluwe landscape of forests, heathland, wet grasslands, flower-rich meadows, and clear-flowing spring-fed streams.
The Landscape
The Veluwe Springs and Wetlands form a varied landscape where forests, heathland, wet grasslands and clear-flowing streams come together. Around Vaassen and Epe, water rising from the higher sandy grounds creates numerous springs and streams that flow through the surrounding countryside. The landscape alternates between wooded areas, open fields and wet nature areas, creating a peaceful and varied cycling experience.
The route also takes you through the characteristic landscape around the Veluwe, where ancient forests and heathlands meet flower-rich meadows and wet grasslands. The many streams and springs are an important part of the area's natural character, while historic estates and rural landscapes add a cultural dimension to the route.
