De Hoge Veluwe National Park is the largest actively managed conservation area in private hands in the Netherlands. The Park covers 5,400 hectares of woodland, heathland, peat bogs and drift sand. It enjoys a wide variety of plants and animals and provides habitats to deer, mouflons, wild boars and extremely rare Red List species. You can grab a free bicycle, and explore the beautiful surroundings of the National Park. Just walking around is also an option.
In the middle of the National Park ‘de Hoge Veluwe is the Kröller-Müller Museum, a museum for modern art. It offers a considerable collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh, such as Café Terrace at Night and Potato Eaters, making it the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world! It also houses paintings of many modern artists, such as Piet Mondriaan and Pablo Picasso. The Museum is also famous for its large sculpture garden, within the forest park, of more than 75 acres. It is one of the largest and most famous sculpture parks in Europe.
When you are tired of exploring the National Park or you want to relax after visiting the museum, you can order a biological cup of tea or coffee at the restaurant in the museum.
