High Veluwe (Dutch: Hoge Veluwe) is in Gelderland, Netherlands.
Understand
One of the largest national parks in the Netherlands, it is situated to the north of and most easily accessible from the city of Arnhem.
Climate
Landscape
The land is flat but has subtle variations in small areas and sand dunes in the desert patches.
Flora and fauna
The park is mostly covered by pristine vegetation, most of which consists of various conifers, shrub and grassland with a large variation of flowers
Getting there
You can get into the park at several entrances from the direction of Arnhem (ingang Schaarsbergen) on the N311, from Otterlo or Hoenderlo on the N304 or N310 or from Delen.
