National Park Hoge Veluwe (23-7-2006)

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
An unique place in the Netherlands! Not only does this national park include many forms of unique landscapes there's also a museum with an impressive modern art collection. It's the perfect combination of culture and nature and therefor the perfect place for us ;-)

Another great thing is the fact that you can use free bikes in the park so you don't need your car to get in. You just pay the entrance fee of the park, grab a bike and start cycling. And for us the museum was free (www.amuseevous.be).

The Kröller-Müller (as is the official name of the museum) has an impressive collection of modern art, mainly Van Goghs. They also have a large sculpture garden. And they serve great sandwiches ;-)
There's also a free museum in the park about the park and the animals. Another man made structure you should visit is the hunting lodge St.-Hubertus.
And the nature is just great: many many trees, a sand drift, heath lands...

If you ever have the time to visit this national park you should! Or just visit the site and learn about the history and the nature here
