Ingang Otterlo Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe — Attraction in Ede

Gotta be honest here. Very expensive to enter/park your car. Only to realise the price of admission to the museum is a separate cost. By the time we got to the museum, taking the scenic walking route, we wanted a drink before we walked into the museum. Discovering that this would cost us extra, we kindly passed on the undoubtably nice visit, but had to travel on to actually have a drink. Enjoying one on site was impossible (because: no entrance tickets). I understand that this is a private park and requires upkeep, but charging around €45 for parking, entrance and museum visit is pushing the boundaries of acceptable. We found some discarded bikes along our hike which people had given up on, discovering you could not bike through sand that easily. We dragged those two bikes along the remaining 7km before finding a station to leave them at. Had I known what I know now, I probably would’ve left them. Aside from this issue: a nice park, well kept walking paths, cool biking opportunities. Would I recommend it? No.not under these...

It is a very big park. Together with the entrance tickets we also got the bikes. Bikes were quite okay, and the roads were great. I recommend going there in an early hour, we arrived around 9 am and it was very enjoyable, we were able to cycle next to each other but in the afternoon it got really crowded so it was a bit more problematic. You can also book the entrance for the museum in advance, and the museum card is accepted. Don’t forget to bring water with you, we barely saw any taps etc to fill our bottles. We enjoyed it very much, will visit...
