Hoge Veluwe National Park

The marshlands, lizard-laced heathlands, swathes of ancient pine, oak and beech forests alive with woodpeckers and red deer, and dramatic open-drift sands would be reason enough to visit this 5500-hectare national park, the largest in the Netherlands, but its Van Gogh art museum and sensational sculpture park dotted with contemporary art pieces make it simply unmissable.
