Veluwezoom
Perfect for walking and cycling, Veluwezoom is the southern part
of Veluwe, where the woody and hilly countryside changes into a
river landscape. In May and June this area is at its best because
of the many flowering rhododendrons. Veluwezoom, the beautiful area
between Renkum and Laag-Soeren, has of old boasted many tourist
attractions and a rich cultural past. In Renkum the memory of the
Battle for Arnhem is still very much part of the present. A
commemoration takes place every year in the weekend around
September 17th. The Airborne Museum gives you some idea of what
happened back then.
