General information
Gelderland, Veluwe and Eastern Netherlands are ideal for travellers who want forests, cycling, historic towns, castles and a less coastal Dutch experience.
Trips and nature
Veluwe is the main natural highlight, with forests, heathlands, sand drifts, deer and cycling routes. Rivers and floodplains add variety.
Food and atmosphere
Arnhem and Nijmegen add wartime history, student life and Roman layers, while Hanseatic towns and castles give the east strong historical texture.
Transport and stay
Trains reach the larger cities, but a bike or car is useful for Veluwe, castles, villages and nature areas.
