Veluwsche Steam Train

Just 5 kilometers from Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn - De Cantharel, you will find one of the most unique attractions in the region: the Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). Step on board a historic steam locomotive and experience a unique train journey through the beautiful landscapes of the Veluwe and the IJssel Valley.

The ride on the famous Koningslijn between Apeldoorn and Dieren is a nostalgic experience for both young and old. The VSM does not operate as regular public transport, but as a moving museum with authentic carriages, goods wagons, and lovingly restored locomotives.

Whether you are a railway history enthusiast or just looking for a special day out, a ride on the steam train is an experience not to be missed during your stay at De Cantharel.
