Introduction

Hoge Veluwe National Park, in the central province of Gelderland, covers some 5,500 hectares — the largest continuous nature reserve in the Netherlands. Heather moorland, drifting sand, old oaks and fens shelter red deer, wild boar and mouflon. The park's charm: 1,800 white bicycles, free to borrow at the entrances, and cycle lanes weaving through the heath in the most Dutch way imaginable. At its heart sits the Kroller-Muller Museum, home to the world's second-largest Van Gogh collection — over 90 paintings and nearly 200 drawings — plus Monet, Renoir, Picasso and a sculpture garden of modern classics. Nature, cycling and art woven into one perfect day.
