Holiday homes in Otterlo
Otterlo is located in beautiful
Gelderland. The village is considered the "gateway" to the Hoge Veluwe National Park, one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands and even in Europe. A holiday home in Otterlo is therefore a fantastic destination for nature lovers. Lovely walking and cycling routes have been set out in the Veluwe and in the surrounding area, which lead past the most beautiful places - such as the "Planken Wambuis" heathland, a stunning landscape with drifting sand and forests. The paths wind through untouched nature, where you can see Spanish cattle and other large grazers. There is also a beautiful network of bridlepaths, with well-marked routes for
horse riding. So get outside and discover how beautiful Gelderland can be.
