The park lies on the beautiful, meandering IJssel river and borders on the Veluwe with its forests, heath, cycling and walking tracks. As a guest you can enjoy yourself in the park. The immediate vicinity offers various possibilities for trips and nature. A visit to the Hanseatic town of Deventer, with its historical buildings and cosy shopping streets is certainly worth while. The same goes for Hattem. Apeldoorn offers plenty of recreation and entertainment, like the Apenheul Zoo and 'Park Berg en Bos'. Don't miss out on the Julianatoren fun-park or a visit to Palace 't Loo. For lovers of nature there are the beautiful cycling tracks and shadowy footpaths. Really worth while a visit are the Veluwe villages Vaassen, Epe and Heerde. All the Veluwe weekly markets in nearly all villages are unique. Walking, cycling or a trip by car: the Veluwe in all its beauty lies at hand.
