Nature, Culture and Comfort
Just imagine: one minute you are at one with nature in its purest form; and the next minute you are bathing in luxury and comfort fit for a king. The Bilderberg Southern Veluwe Route makes it possible. In the daytime, ride your bike through the great outdoors; and in the evenings relax in stylish luxurious Bilderberg Hotels, known for their comfort, culinary qualities and hospitality. This way you benefit from the best of both worlds.
The southern part of Veluwe Forest is known for its variety in natural splendour. You will find virgin forest, purple (in august!) heathland and vast areas of shifting sand. But southern Veluwe has even more to offer than beautiful landscapes: It is also rich in cultural attractions such as St. Hubertus Hunting Lodge and the world famous Kroeller Mueller Museum for 19th and 20th century art. Residing in Bilderberg hotels means you can enjoy a culinary treat every evening. Afterwards, if you feel like it, you could unwind in the sauna or solarium.

You will pass through the village of Oosterbeek, known for its Airborne Cemetry (WWII Commonwealth War Graves).

Here you’ll find no less than 5500 hectares of woodland, heathland, areas of shifting sand and fens (dents in the landscape often filled with water).
Don’t be surprised if you spot deer, mouflon (wild sheep) or wild boar. Everything is possible on De Hoge Veluwe! At Hoenderloo, you will leave the National Park. Through Hoenderloose Bos (woods), Hoog Buurlose Heide (heath), Asselse Heide (heath) and woody hamlet Nieuw-Milligen, you’ll arrive back where you started out: in Garderen’s Bilderberg Hotel Résidence Groot Heideborgh, where a delicious dinner awaits you.
