General presentation
Apeldoorn et Veluwe royale
Palace, parks, forest and family outings in the Veluwe slurry.
The discovery of Apeldoorn and Royal Veluwe revolves around Paleis Het Loo, Apenheul and Kroondomein Het Loo. The stay thus alternates between forests, heritage and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: sites and palaces very demand. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Paleis Het Loo
Paleis Het Loo reveals itself in the precision of its composition: ordered gardens, monumental volumes and strings of corridors. The course is strong when you look at the transition between ceremonial spaces and more intimate areas.
Nature
Apenheul
Apenheul presents an animal world that is closely linked to the surrounding nature: open routes, observation zones and controlled visual transitions. The site is effective when the pace of visit follows the areas of activity without burning the immersion points.
Nature
Kroondomein Het Loo
Kroondomein Het Loo extends the world of the palace by a vast area of forests, moors, alleys and clearings. The paths there attract especially walkers and cyclists who are looking for the Veluwe in a quiet version, with long prospects under the trees and sometimes the discreet presence of the game.
Place
Radio Kootwijk
Radio Kootwijk emerges in the middle of the moors as a concrete cathedral dedicated to distant communications. The experience lies as much in the building as in the approach: silent roads, low horizons, pine trees and heathers give this technical architecture almost cinematographic power.
