Nature, art and pleasure: diversity in the Veluwe

Forests, heathland and dunes as well as over 100 lakes characterise the Veluwe in the Dutch Gelderland. The charming region with its diverse landscapes includes the Hoge Veluwe National Park, which is populated by an abundance of wildlife. And so this trip in the region is a very good idea for all nature lovers. But not only for them. Those who love historic towns and buildings will look forward to places like Harderwijk and Amersfoort, as well as Het Loo Castle near Apeldoorn.

The itinerary
 at a glance

For your 6-day location-based tour in the Garderen area

Day
01
Arrival in Garderen (organised by the traveller)

Today you reach the Hanseatic town of Harderwijk, which is situated on the coast of Lake Veluwe with its many historic buildings. If you feel like a swim, take advantage of the beautiful beach for a relaxing stay. The way back takes you through the Ermelo Heath with its wide and charming landscape.

You cycle through the forest and heath of the western Veluwe to the more open, urban landscape near Amersfoort. Amersfoort has a well-preserved medieval town centre, numerous historic buildings and monuments, canals and cosy restaurants and cafés. Passing the Stoutenburg Castle, your way leads back to the hotel. From Amersfoort you can take the train.

Nature and art form a delightful mix in the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The forests, moorland lakes and heathland are home to many protected animals and plants. The visitor centre reveals a lot about the history, culture and nature of the park. A place of art is the Kröller-Müller Museum, which has, among other things, the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world and a very beautiful sculpture garden.

Today you can first admire the gardens of Het Loo Castle, which are among the most beautiful gardens in Europe. Afterwards you will reach Apeldoorn. The city offers you a lively mix of historical buildings such as the Grote Kerk, art sites such as the museum of modern art called CODA, restaurants, shops and nature areas such as the Apenheul Zoo, which is home to many monkeys.

There are places in the world of cycle touring that are just so picturesque and diverse that once you have arrived, you can't tear yourself away. They have so much to offer that you will struggle to decide which direction to cycle in first. These special spots are where we at PEDALO have created our location-based tours just for you.

Keep riding, but always stay in the same place

In contrast to staged tours and round trips, you won't cycle from place to place, and thus from hotel to hotel. Instead, you will stay in one and the same accommodation for the duration of your cycling holiday. This hotel will be the starting point for fascinating cycling excursions in the surrounding area. Every day, there will be new routes for you to explore. Every evening, you will return to hosts who put their heart and soul into their work and offer you a pleasantly cosy atmosphere with a healthy dose of class. Instead of having to pack your bags each day, you simply get to ride your bike and enjoy your holiday.

For beginners, improvers - and anyone seeking a breath of fresh air

This type of cycling holiday is designed for anyone who likes to take it easy. If you’re feeling a bit too sore for cycling or the weather isn't looking good, you can simply take a day off. Location-based tours are also ideal for first-time cyclists who may not yet know exactly how much they can or want to tackle in a day. No unnecessary stress, just pure freedom - so your tour can be all about the joy of cycling!

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
