I awarded this route with 3 ★★★ stars because the scenery and attractions are excellent, and the roads are very good. You ride through National Park De Hoge Veluwe, over the Ginkelse Heide and along impressive places such as Burgers' Zoo, the Open Air Museum and the Apeldoorns Kanaal. The mix of nature, culture and smooth asphalt makes this ride an absolute must.

RouteXpert Review You start at the atmospheric Restaurant Planken Wambuis in Ede, where you immediately notice that you are on the edge of something special. The Veluwe stretches out like a green blanket, ready to be discovered. You soon reach the Tour Info Point; Ginkelse Heide. Here, on this open plain, thousands of paratroopers landed in 1944. The history is tangible - just like the view, especially when the heather blooms purple. Via Otterlo you continue towards National Park De Hoge Veluwe, one of the Netherlands' most famous nature reserves. As a motorcyclist you ride along the border, but it is worth getting off once for the Kröller-Müller Museum or a walk among the wild animals. Then follows Hoenderloo, where the forest slowly opens up again to more buildings towards Beekbergen and Apeldoorn. Between Apeldoorn and Loenen the route winds along the Apeldoorns Kanaal, a historic waterway that is now an oasis for recreationists. Then it's time for a rest at the Tour Pauze Punt; De Groote Modderkolk. This is no ordinary stop: here you will find an organic care farm, tea room and farm shop, all in the middle of nature.
After the break, you will drive through the southern side of the Veluwezoom towards Dieren, Ellecom and Velp. You will partly follow the canal again and pick up the second Tour Info Point of the canal along the way - a nice way to complete the story. And the asphalt? Still wonderfully winding, with good grip and little traffic. Then Arnhem looms up, but before it gets busy, you stop at the Open Air Museum and Burgers' Zoo. Two attractions within a stone's throw of each other. Then you end at National Sports Centre Papendal, the sports heart of the Netherlands, where you will roll through modern sports history. The route ends at Shell Westend, a logical fuel and rest point just outside the city.
The Zuid Veluwe route is an ode to everything that makes motorcycling in the Netherlands beautiful: nature, history, bends and experience. You ride through forests where the sunlight falls playfully between the leaves, over heaths full of memories and along attractions that invite you to get off your bike. Ideal for a full day of touring - with the feeling that you have really been away for a while.

De Hoge Veluwe National Park
About this region
De Hoge Veluwe National Park is a Dutch national park in the province of Gelderland near the cities of Ede, Wageningen, Arnhem and Apeldoorn. It is approximately 55 km2 (14,000 acres; 21 sq mi) in area, consisting of heathlands, sand dunes, and woodlands. It is situated in the Veluwe, the area of the largest terminal moraine in the Netherlands. Most of the landscape of the park and the Veluwe was created during the last Ice Age. The alternating sand dune areas and heathlands may have been caused by human utilization of the surrounding lands. The park forms one of the largest continuous nature reserves in the Netherlands.

The 10 most beautiful motorcycle and car routes in the Netherlands are always a snapshot, and a personal opinion of the reviewer.

The ten routes are spread over 10 provinces, we only skipped Flevoland and South Holland. Interesting routes can also be found in the MyRoute app RouteXpert library, but we still want to stick to the 10 most beautiful and not the 12 most beautiful.
Enjoy the many fortresses and castles that are included in the routes, such as Fort Veldhuis in North Holland. But also take a look at the route southeast of Nijmegen and visit the impressive Canadian War Cemetery and Memorial. The route 'Overijssel in bird's eye view' includes the oldest house in the Netherlands and the route along the IJssel is probably the most beautiful piece of asphalt in the Netherlands.
This way there is something for everyone in this route collection. If you do not agree with these 10 routes, please send us an e-mail, indicate which route(s) should be removed and which route you would like to see instead.
