The Big Five of the Veluwe

Spotting wildlife in The Netherlands? You can. In our backyard. With a little patience, you can spot them all. The red deer is the largest of the five. During mating season, male deer make a roaring sound. This is called bellowing. A spectacle to witness. The Big Five are completed by the wild boar, the roe deer, the badger and the fox. We challenge you. If you can spot every member of the Big Five in the flesh, we will treat you to a weekend at Park Berkenrhode.

 
 

Hello, bison!

Go on a field trip and meet the “newest old” resident of the Veluwe. The bison! In 2016, a small herd of bison arrived in the Veluwe. This protected European species has a habitat of 400 hectares.

Wildlife - Diverse Families in the Veluwe

He worked on it for more than two years. He headed into the woods with his team almost every day—and waited, waited, then waited some more for that one shot. Baby foxes being born. A mother sow swimming across a pond with her piglets. Or a full-grown fox hunting wild boar piglets. The movie "Wild" is a real sensation!

"Wild"—the beauty and diversity of the Veluwe

"Wild" is the title of the movie that was shown in Dutch theaters in February 2018. “A thrilling, moving, and also funny family film that showcases the Veluwe in all its glory on the big screen,” says director Luc Enting from Ede.
