We leave the hotel mid-morning and head into the Hoge Veluwe National Park, a protected landscape of woodland, heath and dunes, known for its wildlife and open scenery. Our visit includes time at the Kröller-Müller Museum, set within the park. This features a rare Vincent van Gogh exhibition, showcasing all 88 paintings from the museum’s private collection. It houses one of the largest collections of Vincent van Gogh's works, including masterpieces such as Sunflowers, The Bedroom and Café Terrace at Night. The museum's sculpture garden is equally captivating, featuring pieces by prominent sculptors like Auguste Rodin and Henry Moore, all beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings.
Afterwards, we stop at the Park Pavilion visitor centre, where lunch is at leisure. Don't miss the visitor centre and shop and the Museonder museum, beneath the park. Or, why not take a gentle ride on one of the park’s free white bikes along the flat, signposted cycle paths?
In the afternoon, we continue to Arnhem for free time. There is plenty to see, including the John Frost Bridge, linked to Operation Market Garden during the Battle of Arnhem, the free Airborne Museum at the Bridge, or explore parts of the city’s historic walking route. Dinner is at leisure before we return to the hotel.
