View of the Sand Plain in Veluwe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Put on good shoes that you can walk in the sand with. Flip-flops are not the best choice😄

Here you will find a large drifting sand and heathland area, where it is wonderful to walk. It is beautiful here all year round, but certainly at the end of August this area is worth a visit, when the heathland turns purple.
