Hoge Veluwe National Park

Hoge Veluwe National Park

Covering an area of approximately 55 square kilometers, most of the terrestrial landscapes and the Veluwe in Hoge Veluwe National Park were formed during the late glacial period. The interwoven dune areas and heathlands may be the result of human use of the surrounding land. Hoge Veluwe National Park is one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in the Netherlands and also the largest lowland nature reserve in northwestern Europe.

Hoge Veluwe National Park was established in 1935 by Anton Kröller and his wife Helene Kröller-Müller. It has three entrances, located in the villages of Otterlo, Hoenderloo, and Schaarsbergen. The park is surrounded by a fence. Within the park there are several notable buildings, among which the Kröller-Müller Museum is the most famous. This museum houses the art collection of the Kröller-Müller couple, including many classic works by various artists. In the northern part of the park, you can find the St. Hubertus Hunting Lodge, a deer statue, and the Christian de Wet Monument. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife for visitors to observe, such as roe deer, red deer, wild boar, European mouflon, foxes, badgers, and European pine martens.
