With an area of no less than 32,000 hectares and the most diverse nature conservation areas in the Netherlands, Ede is a great place to walk and spot wildlife. Walk across heathland, sand drifts, grassy plains and through the forest.
Set off with a route or guide and explore Ede with a Klompenpad [Clog path], Historic Walking Route, wildlife excursion or walking route.
Walking in The Hoge Veluwe
There are many ways to walk in The Hoge Veluwe National Park. You can choose your own route, follow a signposted route or take part in long-distance routes and themed walks.
The Veluwe Nature Centre on the Ederheide is a great starting point for excursions and walks in the natural surroundings. The foundation organises walking activities all year round, including stag walks, game hunting, tracker hunts, early bird walks, walks between forest and heathland, bat walks and mushroom walks.
Historic landscapes
Ede occupies a special place when it comes to military history. There are barracks, locations from the 1st World War and of course the 2nd World War with the airborne landings on the Ginkel Heath. Walk through the landscape and discover the extraordinary history.
Clog paths!
The Clog paths guarantee the most beautiful walks in the Veluwe region. There is plenty to discover and experience when you walk across country estates, restored historical paths and through farmland. Enjoy the tranquillity, the compact scale of the area and the combination of culture and nature during a Clog Paths walk.
Autumn walks in Ede
The autumn months make the landscape of Ede even more beautiful. The trees change colour and give the landscape a golden glow. The temperature is pleasant, mushrooms are popping up and the wildlife is abundant.
