The De Hoge Veluwe National Park in Otterlo covers around 5500 hectares of heathland, driftsand landscape and woodland. It is one of the largest and most beautiful national parks in the Netherlands, with a unique combination of art, nature and architecture.

The Kröller-Müller Museum, in the middle of the park, houses a large collection of Van Gogh paintings as well as works by Mondriaan, Picasso and Seurat and a large sculpture garden. The St Hubertus Hunting Lodge and a variety of monuments by architects Berlage and Van De Velde can also be found.

The land is home to red deer, roe deer, wild boar and moufflon (wild mountain sheep), as well as being renowned for rare native plant species.
