Gamekeeper Garderen

Between Garderen, Speuld and Putten is a new wildlife sanctuary in a secret place in the middle of the woods. In this oldest forest of the Netherlands there is a lot of wildlife including foxes, deer, wild boars and deer. Wonderful to see and hear! In a wildlife sanctuary you have to be very quiet. The route towards it is therefore done with an electric cart. And the last part to the game chancel is walking. Children 10 years and older are welcome to to come wildly tracking in the game chancel.

European bison on the Veluwe

At Radio Kootwijk, a special location on the Veluwe, you can from 2016 meet the wisent. The wisent is a type of buffalo that was released on the Veluwe because centuries ago this was also its habitat. Of course during this excursion you will also encounter deer, roe deer and wild boar.
