View Tower Kootwijk

In the middle of the special sand drifts stands for years the wooden watchtower, here you can fully enjoy the beautiful nature. This watchtower of Kootwijk was replaced in 2017 for an even higher and sustainable tower, this allows you to see as far as Apeldoorn and you can also see the Radio Kootwijk transmitter building. This replacement was made possible by Staatsbosbeheer, the Veluwe Specialist and SOS Events. A view from a tower over the largest sand drift in Western Europe is, of course, a special attraction.

This is also the reason why many cycling tours from Garderen go along this Veluwe phenomenon. Indeed, it is perfect for such things as a break with a picnic or a short walk. In addition, you can also enjoy peaceful cycling in Kootwijk and its surroundings. So from the Veluwe Specialist there are cycling tours for mountain bikes or electric bicycles which pass by the Kootwijk watchtower. Perfect for a day out with the kids or family!
