The collection contains works of the leading artist of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.Soon she became keen on...

Britannia2 Says: We only saw this from the outside but it is certainly an impressive country residence that once belonged to Mr and Mrs Kroller Muller and was designed by the Dutch architect Berlage. The shape of the building is that of stags horns or antlers and it is named after Saint...
Britannia2 Says: A magnicent display of paintings, sculpture and modern art that belongs to the Dutch state. The building that houses the collection is a pleasing low building that has accesable for all galleries and a cafe and gift shop. The cafe is called Monsiuerjacques and although we...

robertgaz Says: Just north of the city of Arnhem is the National Park "De Hoge Veluwe" which is one of the Netherlands' biggest national parks.It consists mainly of the largest tracts of remaining forest in the Netherlands but here you will also find undulating heathlands and drift sands...
Roeffie Says: See the text below taken from their website. This is really easy going, just take a white bike to a location in the park, visit that location and cycle away on an other bike, because of the fact that your bike is already in use by another person! The white bicylcle is...

De Koperen Kop: Good visitor centre restaurant/cafe
Britannia2 Says: A very large cafe restaurant with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. There are drinks both hot and cold available and a vast variety of things to eat from cakes and sandwiches to full meals including the wonderful Dutch pancakes that are made to order.
Restaurant "De Koperen Kop": The only one in the whole Park!
Roeffie Says: This is the only possibility to visit a restaurant in the park. So I won't adives you to go here, because of the fact it isn't cheap, it isn't of high standard it's just the only possibility to eat something. My advice: Take your own food and drinks and have a picknick and...
The national park Hoge Veluwe organises often very early in the morning "ochtend wandelingen" (daybreak walks). You have to be present at 5:00 or 6:00 and a tourguide will show you the spots where the animals appear. Deer, wild bore, fazants, rabbits and hares will be seen. Occasionally and with a lot of luck also foxes and badgers. Ask for the program that is available in the visitor centre.
Dress Code: Jungle-outfit would be nice - haha. Good walkingshoes are recommended.

Overview map of the national park
Pavlik_NL Says: Want to know where you are and where to go to? Well, on several places there are maps that can help you out. On it are walking routes as well as biking paths. The car roads are also visible, but who needs them ... you have been clever enough to leave the car outside the park...
Helpfulness
What to buy: We found these liqueurs at a shop in Apeldoorn. They appear to be typical for the area since lots of them refer to the 'Hoge Veluwe'
In the right of the picture - Veluwse apple wine
In the middle - cordial with herbes
On the right - an aldfashioned canned beer.

Britannia2 Says: I think the idea of free white bicycles stems from an idea that started in Amsterdam in the 1960s - the bikes are available in a variety of sizes at the Visitor Centre and they are to be used to cycle through the national park - you can choose routes yourself or there are...
Helpfulness
In the Visitors' Centre you can find information on the park.
Unique Suggestions: When you come to visit the park, you have the option of paying an entry fee for your car or parking your car at the entrance and cycling.
Also you can use your own bicycles or you can take one of the bikes that are provided free by the park.
You do not have to sign for the bikes, you just find one that fits and take it wherever you want in the park.
Fun Alternatives: But if you are already doing a tour by bike!!
Take care of yours... they disapeard quick

The three unity in the middle of nature
Pavlik_NL Says: Along the road from Schaarsbergen to the Kroller-Muller museum one will pass a strange sculpture along the road. It is a three unity and looks quite mysterious on the hill where one finds behind the remainders of the museum as it was planned to be built at first.
Fundaments and wall of the first museum
Pavlik_NL Says: In 1921 the Kroller-Muller wanted to built a museum themselves for the huge collection of art that they gatheed throughout their lifetimes. Henry van der Velde created a huge plan, made up from special "Maulbronner" sandstone. It got transported here by a special railroad...

Airpunk Says: Once you get used to the bike route system, it will make orientation easy. There are hundreds of points, each marked with a number from 1 to 99 (thus, a number can appear several times on the map). At those points, you will find maps which do not show the place where you are...
