Harderwijk

Attention forest lovers! This cycle route takes you through the woods and the lovely outskirts of Harderwijk in less than twenty kilometres. The Veluwe forests are the ideal backdrop for a cycle route for the whole family and along the way, everyone is thought of. You will cycle past unique places, look out over the forest and you can climb among the treetops. There are also plenty of opportunities to get off the bike on solid ground. Playing in the woods, taking a walk through nature or resting on a bench? It is all possible.

Meander along the forest paths and get off your bike a couple of times along the way to take a look at the forest floor. Do you see the tracks of the wild? Deer and wild boar roam everywhere and you may also come across them during the day.

Between Junctions 20 and 50, an enormous sandy plain looms up. A Veluwe desert! You have arrived at the Beekhuizerzand, a shifting sand plain of at least 200 hectares in size. The sand is coloured by purple heather in some places, which makes it even more beautiful.

Sand, heather, woods, playing, clambering and climbing. Children and adults alike will have a great time on this cycle route.
