Veluwe Local Products Route
Harderwijk, Ermelo, Hierden
Welcome to the Veluwe, one of the most popular holiday regions in the Netherlands. Cycle through the vast outskirts of Harderwijk, Ermelo and Hierden and get to know the many regional products. These products are mostly sold at cosy farm and regional shops. These days, the area uses an erken quality mark developed especially for authentic Veluwe regional products. This quality mark guarantees the origin of the raw materials. They really do come from the Veluwe. One of the most important aspects of regional products is quality and sustainability. They are generally products that are produced on a small scale with the best ingredients. The taste of regional products cannot be compared to that of any other product. Producers of regional products make an important contribution to the quality of the landscape. Because the products are produced and sold locally, so-called 'short chains', they do not have to be transported over long distances. This saves fuel and therefore CO2 emissions, which is nice and sustainable. What makes Veluwe regional products so special is the connection with the land and the people who make them. Local farmers and small producers are committed to providing beautiful products that reflect the taste and origin of the region. Whether it is cheese, dairy, honey, wine or beer? The pride and local character make each of these products unique. And it is precisely these Veluwe Regional Products that form a unique basis for a tasteful exploration of this special area. With its vast forests, rolling moors and atmospheric villages, the Veluwe offers a beautiful range of natural ingredients. The wide range of regional products makes this part of the Veluwe a place for real gourmets. This premium cycle route was created by: Inge van Assen What about artisanal cheeses, made from milk from local cows grazing in beautiful green meadows. Or a good piece of Veluwe game, such as venison or wild boar, from the vast, ancient forests. And this is just a small sample of the huge range on offer. Because there is much more. The Veluwe is also the place to go for a locally brewed beer or an organically grown wine. And last but not least; regional products play an important role in preserving the area's biodiversity. As consumers nowadays much more often choose products produced locally, they not only support the local economy but also the preservation of the vast landscapes, crops and many animal species that make this part of the Netherlands so unique. So strap your panniers on your bike and kick it on! You won't be disappointed. This premium cycle route has been compiled by our editor: Inge van Assen.
