More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the vehicle onto a broad sweep of heath and pale sand; wind tugs at jackets and the silence of the park makes sculptures and pines seem louder than they are. The van eases away, leaving you to trade the buzz of Amsterdam for a landscape that shifts from open heath to umbrella pines and hidden ponds.

History
The Kröller-Müller collection was assembled by Helene Kröller-Müller in the early 20th century and donated to the Dutch state; the museum’s sculpture garden was conceived to place modern art within the park’s natural settings.
Conservation
De Hoge Veluwe is managed to restore heathland, drift sand and native woodland; visitors are encouraged to use bikes and marked trails to reduce habitat disturbance.
