Walking in De Hoge Veluwe in October

Woodland, heath and sand lie close together; a visit to the Kröller-Müller Museum also requires a park ticket.

According to the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Hoge Veluwe National Park covers roughly 5,500 hectares. Woodland, heathland, grassy plains and drifting sands alternate here. The park itself calls walking a good way to experience these different landscapes at your own pace.

A walk can be combined with a bike ride. The park speaks of 2,000 free White Bikes, the museum of about 1,800.

The Kröller-Müller Museum lies in the middle of the park. The sculpture garden shows more than two hundred modern sculptures. The museum also names Jachthuis Sint Hubertus, the former country retreat of Anton and Helene Kröller-Müller, as a destination in the park.

The park is open all year round. In October the gates are open from 9:00 to 19:00, with last admission one hour before closing. For visitors aged thirteen and over, park admission in 2026 is €13.85; children aged six to thirteen pay €6.95.

For museum and park together, the museum lists a day ticket at €27.75. Museumkaart and VIP card holders get free museum admission but still need a park ticket. For the Van Gogh exhibition, the museum also requires a free timed-entry ticket on top of the admission tickets.
