In The Hoge Veluwe National Park, the various old-Veluwe landscapes alternate. The landscape in the Park consists of deciduous coniferous and mixed forests, but also of heathland, grassy plains and shifting sand landscapes. This landscape is home to an unprecedented diversity of plant and animal species, including a large number of rare ornamental species.
