We spent two weeks at Europarc Beekbergen. We enjoyed hiking and cycling in the woods here. We also took the Veluwe steam train to Apeldoorn and back to Loenen. The equipment wasn't all that special: shorts and sneakers. It was perfectly manageable.

Contrary to what I assumed, the vegetable garden is indeed part of De Groote Modderkolk, a location of Natuurmonumenten see https://loenenopdeveluwe.info/bezoekers/kunst-en-cultuur/waterval-loenen/ Also don't forget to visit the Groninger Meeuwen at the Groote Modderkolk

When crossing the Beekbergerweg we walk into the forest area of the Loenerveld at the edge of the village of Loenen.
