Hoge Veluwe National ParkFor exercise fiends unsatisfied with simply walking around
Amsterdam's historic city centre, a trip out to the Hoge Veluwe
National Park is a fantastic way to enjoy the Netherlands'
(somewhat limited) great outdoors. The Hoge Veluwe National Park
covers an area of 55 square kilometres (5,400 hectares) and has an
interesting topography, featuring woodland, heathland, peat bogs
and even sand dunes. The park is home to a high concentration of
fauna, including red deer, roe deer, wild boar and mouflon (a kind
of wild sheep), and provides ample walking and cycling
opportunities to visitors - there's even a fleet of 1,700 white
bicycles which are free to rent. Also housed within the park is the
St. Hubertus Hunting Lodge, a beautiful building designed by

contains artwork by such luminaries as Van Gogh, Picasso and
Mondrian. An ideal way to get some exercise and take in a bit of
culture in one fun excursion, a trip to the Hoge V
