Sonsbeek Park - One of the largest parks in the country, is in Arnhem. Its connected to two other…read moreparks, making for a large area to walk and play in. It has a forest of centuries old Beachwood's, which are marvelous to walk through. The paths for walking are well marked and taken care of. At its 100 year anniversary, early 2000, the park got a major facelift. There is a stream /creek through the park, which its named after. They have made some artificial waterfalls for enjoyment and beauty. There are a few places to eat along the way, and you will often see people feeding the ducks and geese, who are used to it and expect it at this point. While I'm not sure if its actually "allowed" to do it, so many people are that it seems to be "OK". This is a terrific park in the city that is well worth an afternoon visit. Sit on the benches and enjoy.

Cute, very Dutch information hall/annex luncheon and coffee room. Nice atmosphere, with rental step…read morebikes outside to facilitate your getting about the rather large and beautiful Sonsbeek Park, right on the side of Arnhem. The cappuccino, unfortunately, is watery, so next time I will be trying the Dutch regular coffee. It did come with two cute Easter eggs, so that was a bonus, instead of the typical biscuit cookie here. The staff is very friendly, and the price was reasonable. The lunch was reasonable, too, with a "mill" sandwich layered with young, delicious farmer's cheese, but you can hardly go wrong with that anywhere in Holland. As far as bread and cheese is concerned, the Dutch know how to manufacture those. Additionally, you may purchase a good organic beer or glass of wine here, or even a whole bottle as a gift. Alternatively, there is a selection of bird- or bee-friendly products to adorn your backyard with. Environmentally friendly all year around!

The De Hoge Veluwe National Park is situated in Arnheim, in the Netherlands. There are several…read moreentrances to the park, which is very large - some 55,000 hectares in size. The main entrance leads the way to Marchentheim, the visitor's centre. Along the way, and scattered in several spots throughout the park there are thousands of white bicycles in racks, which are free for visitors to use. This seems a great idea, as the park is so vast, it means that visitors can explore parts of it on bicycle, and parts on foot. Also near the visitor's centre is a museum, aimed at children, which is mainly underground and shows some examples of the flora and fauna to be seen in the park. Further into the park, across some sand dunes, is the St. Hubertus hunting lodge, a purpose-built building for watching the deer in the field behind. There's a collection of antlers, which are surprisingly heavy, and information posters on the walls. Also for children is an orienteering tour, where children follow a colourful trail in order to spot various examples of the wildlife.

Amazing nature experience. My family rented a tandem bike and went all around the park. The play…read morearea at the bike rental center was amazing and they had a wide selection of food in the local restaurant. The highlight was the museum located in the middle of the park. My family ran out of time to explore it, so I recommend making this the first stop on the trip. The museum has several van Gogh, but also Picasso, Mondrian, and Seurat. Make sure you take a bag with some food and water. Enjoy getting lost on the trails!
