One of the most striking buildings in the Netherlands lies in the middle of the Veluwe: the former broadcasting station Radio Kootwijk. Together with the guide you walk past the monumental pump houses to the main building. There coffee and tea are ready and a short film will be shown. The guide then takes you through the building and tells you all about the architecture, technology, fascinating history and life in the village of Radio Kootwijk.
