Ede, Otterlo, Schaarsbergen

Folk tales can teach us a lot. During this cycle route, you will unravel the mysterious and historical stories of the Veluwe!

Are the mysterious stories on this route true or not? You will discover why you should not be too proud, like the white lady who used to live in Grunsfoort Castle. All that remains of the castle today are its outlines, but it is said that the white lady still appears when the moonlight turns the water of the Renkumse stream white...

Another lesson you can learn from this route is that you should be careful what you say. The story of the burning shepherd explains exactly why. Don't be blinded by beauty, because it can have unpleasant consequences, as Johan van Otterloo discovered.

This route not only offers mysteries, but also real historical stories. Take a look at the Oude Kerk in Oosterbeek, for example. Eight days of fighting took place here during the Second World War.
