Veluwe Steam Train

Veluwe Steam Train – Step into the golden age of railways

Just 5 kilometers from Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn – De Cantharel, the Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM) offers a nostalgic journey through time. Ride aboard a restored steam locomotive across the scenic Veluwe and IJssel valley.

Operating on the historic “Koningslijn” between Apeldoorn and Dieren, the Veluwe Steam Train is not a daily means of transport but a moving museum that brings railway history back to life. The VSM collection includes Dutch diesel locomotives, classic carriages, and beautifully restored freight wagons.

Ideal for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a unique outing during their stay in Apeldoorn.
