Heavenly holiday in the Hoge Veluwe!
The cozy house of Evert and Wilmieke has a beautiful garden and is ideally situated for a great holiday! The house is within cycling distance of the beautiful national park Hoge Veluwe, the Kröller-Mollermuseum with paintings by Van Gogh and the beautiful inland dune of Kootwijkerzand. During the heatwave in Europe, the swimming pool came in handy, as well as the ping pong table in the basement. We enjoyed picking blueberries, a canoe trip on the canals in Utrecht, the open air museum and the biscuit museum of the Zaanse Schans. The contacts with the family were very pleasant. To be repeated!
Central Holland. Very spacious house.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
AREA
Our modern home is situated in the small village of Harskamp in the middle of 'De Veluwe' (www.develuwe.nl) and 15 kilometres from Arnhem, the nearest town. We are within easy distance (About 75 kilometres) of Amsterdam. In the centre of The Netherlands most touristic highlights will be reached within a 1-our drive.
We live in a beautiful environment, in the middle of 'The Veluwe' (www.develuwe.nl). There are several routes available for walking and biking.
Our home is 5 km. from national park De Hoge Veluwe with The Kroller Muller Museum (a lot of famous paintings of Van Gogh) and with Jachtslot St. Hubertus. A lot of touristic places are on appr. 20 minutes drive: e.g. Apenheul (where the apes lives in freedom and you can touch them) and Burgers Zoo (very special with its bush, desert, ocean etc. www.burgerszoo.eu). Palace Het Loo, where the Dutch royal family used to live in former days, is also reached within 20 minutes. Evenso Attractionpark Julianatoren (nice for kids till 12 years) and a very big and beautifull Open Air Museum (very interesting especially for kids and teens, www.openluchtmuseum.nl). Also a lot of smaller attractions will be reached in 30 minutes. And last but not least, the Kootwijkerzand at 5 min. drive or 15 min cycling, a huge sanddrift area, largest of Europe, for walking and of course playing.
Most touristic places in the Netherlands are reached in a 1 our-drive. For example Amsterdam and Utrecht both within 45 minutes. The North sea is a one-hour drive. And clean beaches at the Veluwemeer are on a 20-minute-drive.
Ours is a small village with a population of around 3500 and it has some restaurants,all necessary shops and a big supermarket, churches, village hall, a famous museum about the army. There are many restaurants in the area. The Veluwe is still relatively untouched by mass tourism has been acknowledged by all those who visit for its beauty. If you enjoy walking, cycling, shopping, heritage, culture or just simply relaxing in an area of outstanding natural beauty then our home is something for you.
