You step off the train at Barneveld Noord with the click of wheels and a cool north-eastern wind from the Veluwe. A low, electric hum answers — the cargo bike waits, its box already ready for suitcases, a stroller or an excited dog. The forest edges breathe; pines stand like quiet wayfinders and the sandy tracks ahead promise open heath, hidden lakes and sculpted dunes.
