📍 Veluwe, The Netherlands
 ⏰ Depart today


If you're looking to enjoy the Dutch natural landscape on a sunny day, these routes offer diverse options, from classic sunset viewpoints to unique inland deserts, allowing you to experience nature up close.


  • ✓ Posbank Classic Route: A simple 5km walk, famous for its widely recognized most beautiful sunset view in the Netherlands. It's recommended to go after 17:00 to avoid crowds.
  • ✓ Kootwijk Sand Dunes Experience: Routes of 6-10km let you feel like you're in the Dutch 'desert'. It's perfect for photos on a sunny day and is about a 20-minute drive from Apeldoorn.
  • ✓ Hoge Veluwe Free Area: Near Hoenderloo, explore routes through pine forests where deer are often spotted, all without an entrance fee.


From the Randstad area, it's about a 75-minute drive. You can also take a train to Arnhem and then a bus, but driving offers more flexibility.
