Nature

The Veluwe is one of the largest and most diverse nature areas in the Netherlands. The area is known for its heathlands, forests, and many opportunities for outdoor activities. Directly from Buitenplaats Elspeterbosch, you can head into nature and enjoy walking and cycling routes that take you past the most beautiful spots.

Elspeterbos

Our park is located in this beautiful forest with many walking and cycling paths. It is a popular nature area in the region, thanks in part to its ancient oak-beech forest and various kinds of wildlife.

Sheep flock on the Elspeetsche heide

Unique: Elspeet has its own sheep flock! You can spot the animals on the Elspeetsche heide (heath). Wonderful to see how the shepherd works together with the dogs to drive and protect the flock.
