Hiked part 1/25 of the Veluwe Wander Trail, 19.1 kilometres from Arnhem to Wolfheze.

At the foot of the Arnhem moraine you can walk in one of the most beautiful city parks in our country: Park Sonsbeek. This 'pearl of the Veluwezoom' is built around the Sint-Jansbeek. After the winding Bosbeek along the Renkum stream valley, follow the Hoge Veluwe National Park and dive into the immense forests.
