Every Thursday, you can join the 'Wild Veluwe' bike tour starting from De Waldhoorn!

During the tour, your Veluwe guide will share fascinating facts about the local nature and wildlife—such as wild horses, roe deer, and wolves. You might even find yourself face-to-face with a wild animal.

For an extra special experience, combine the bike tour with a two-course game dinner. Before or after your ride, you can settle in at the restaurant and enjoy a delicious starter and main course. It is the perfect way to combine outdoor activity with culinary indulgence.

Tip: The rutting season on the Veluwe takes place from mid-September to early October. There is a good chance you will hear the deer bellowing during this time. If you would like to experience this, be sure to book your bike tour during this period.
