A national park of heath, forest and drifting sand dunes, with deer and wild boar, where you can borrow one of the free white bicycles at the entrances to explore. In the middle, the Kröller-Müller Museum holds the second-largest Van Gogh collection in the world, with nearly 90 paintings, and one of Europe's largest sculpture gardens.


The ticket covers park entry, with the museum extra. Allow a full day. It's near Arnhem and Apeldoorn, with buses from both. The hunting lodge of St Hubertus can be toured.
