Small Group Tour to National Park Hoge Veluwe from Amsterdam

National Park Hoge Veluwe

National Park Hoge Veluwe is one of Holland’s oldest and most beautiful National parks. Located about 85 km east of Amsterdam, it is situated in the middle of the much larger area called the Veluwe. This area is home to our own big 5: wild boar, red deer, roe deer, mouflon and wolf! Foxes, badgers, marten, snakes and a wide variety of birds are living in this area. While the wolf is roaming the larger area, it has only been spotted north of the national park.

We will explore the Park, it’s heaths, grasslands and forests in a small group, stopping at several lookouts and wildlife viewing areas. If you like, you can discover the park on your own by bicycle as well! The wide variety of landscapes offer an excellent chance to see wildlife.

Included in this tour:

transportation from and to Amsterdam
entrance to the Park
bicycles in the park

Art and Architecture!

For those in your group who are more interested in art or architecture we offer to drop you at the entrance of the country residence/museum Jachthuis Sint Hubertus. Renowned architect H.P. Berlage designed the total exterior, interior and surroundings for the Jachthuis, one of the most important monuments of our country.

Or, you can choose to visit the The Kröller-Müller Museum which is a second home to Vincent van Gogh. The museum has almost 90 paintings and more than 180 drawings, making it the second largest collection of Van Goghs in the world. In addition, the museum is home to top works by modern masters including Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondriaan. The sculpture garden shows over 160 sculptures by well-known artists.

Both the Jachthuis Sint Hubertus and the Kröller-Müller Museum are situated in the national park and tickets can be purchased at an additional fee in the park. The Kröller-Müller Museum is closed on Mondays.

Testimonials

   I highly recommend this tour. I am a history teacher and I gained so much from Eva and the camp. It was fascinating to see how the barracks would have... read more been set up. It was also sobering to see the original crematorium as well as the personal names and memorials of those who were in the camp. The small group made it easy for a solo traveller and Eva was happy to discuss any questions we had, not only from a historical point of view but also her family's experience. Thank you for such a memorable day. I will definitely book with Dutch Tours on another trip when I'm back!

   Thank you for making this happen for me! - I had a fantastic time on this tour. I appreciated the central meeting spot close to Amsterdam Centraal Station. I was visiting Amsterdam from another country and didn't know the... read more city very well outside the main tourist areas so this was easy for me to get to and was close to my hotel.
 
 Eva was a terrific tour guide and she made it completely flexible for what we wanted to get out of the trip. On the day I went on the trip it was only myself and one other guest and she allowed us to tailor it to the specific activities we wanted to do. We started off visiting a lookout point and saw some deer grazing off in the distance. Binoculars were provided so that we could get a closer look. I appreciated that small detail.
 
 My main focus after that was to visit the Kröller-Müller Museum to see the Vincent van Gogh paintings that they own. Several were bucket list items and I want to thank Eva and Dutch Tours for making it a reality that I could come to the national park and visit the museum and to have that moment. I traveled a very long distance to be there so thank you for making that happen for me, it means so much to me.
 
 I spent most of my time in the Kröller-Müller Museum and honestly probably could have spent a few more hours there. It's beautiful, simple, and has an amazing collection of art. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to really explore the sculpture garden grounds but I still got a small taste of it. The other guest on the tour visited the museum as well for a short time and then met Eva to do a bicycle tour around different areas of the park. Again, our experiences were completely flexible to what we wanted to do once we were there. I really appreciated that aspect of the tour.
 
 On our exit, we drove through more areas of the park to see more of it. It's a beautiful area and it was nice to get out of the city for a bit and see more of The Netherlands I would not have been able to otherwise. The three of us got along well and had a great time chatting on the drive back to the city. I'm very thankful Dutch Tours offered this small group tour to the national park and to the Kröller-Müller Museum. I would not have been able to visit it on my own, at least not very easily, so I'm so happy that they offered it and that it still happened even though it was only 2 of us that day.
 
 Thank you Eva and Sarah!

   Fantastic! - Sarah was a charming and knowledgeable guide. She took us to a tiny, quaint farming village, a stop at some eye-popping tulips and a sweet little fishing village. Sarah is... read more an accomplished birder and knew the history and ecology of the area well. 
 The boat trip to see the tidal flats with basking seals was incredible! I see why this is a UNESCO world heritage site. It is a very unique and special place. 
 I highly recommend this trip to anyone with an interest in nature or if you just want a nice day in the beautiful countryside of the Netherlands. Sarah was a great guide and I wouldn't hesitate to book this trip again!
