The Aardhuis Apeldoorn

Hidden in the woods of Hoog Soeren lies Het Aardhuis, a former hunting chalet of King Willem III. This historic building, which now serves as a nature visitor center, has royal allure and offers a unique insight into the flora and fauna of the Veluwe.

Het Aardhuis is the visitor center of Het Loo Royal Estate, beautifully situated on Amersfoortseweg in Apeldoorn. Visitors can enjoy exhibits on wildlife management here. But for Apeldoorners and tourists alike, this is also a popular starting point for walking and cycling tours through the largest connected estate in the Netherlands. With a high chance of spotting red deer, wild boar or even foxes, Het Aardhuis is an ideal destination for nature lovers as well as history buffs.

The building itself is a sight to behold: its classical architecture and royal past make every visit a step back in time. Children can have fun in the educational Game Park, while adults enjoy the view of the vast forests from the panoramic point.

Located just a 10-minute drive from Van der Valk Hotel De Cantharel, Het Aardhuis is a perfect getaway during your stay in Apeldoorn.
