Nowhere you will find art, architecture and culture so inextricably linked to nature as on the Veluwe. In Park de Hoge Veluwe is Jachthuis Sint Hubertus, the former country house of the Kröller-Müller couple and one of the most iconic buildings in the Netherlands. The world-famous Kröller-Müller museum with a large collection of modern and contemporary art and the largest sculpture garden in Europe is also located here.
The rich history of the former German military area where Kazemat Koningsweg is located can be read in various books that are present in the folly but also in the nearby Museum Deelen.
It is a scientific fact that occasionally
viewing the impressive scenes of nature (…)
is beneficial to human health and vitality”Frederick Law Olmsted (1865)
