Bospark The Sheepfold

Epe is within cycling distance of the park and has a compact centre with shops, a weekly market and several places to eat. Settle down on the terrace of one of the cafés on Market Square while village life goes on around you. The Saturday market attracts local vendors selling vegetables, cheese and other regional products. After the market, you can walk straight into the surrounding forests via the walking trails that start directly from the village.

About a half-hour drive from Forest Park The Sheepfold is the Kröller-Müller Museum, located in the heart of High Veluwe National Park. Here, you can admire one of the largest Van Gogh collections in the world, alongside works by Mondriaan, Seurat and Picasso, among others. The sculpture garden, featuring works by international artists, is also well worth a visit. Combine your museum visit with an exploration of the national park, where you can use the iconic white bicycles free of charge. Cycle past vast heathlands, forests and sand drifts, and enjoy the peace and nature along the way. The combination of world-famous art, remarkable architecture and the varied Veluwe landscape makes this one of the most beautiful day trips in the region.

Monkey Hill is located 23 km from Forest Park The Sheepfold, a unique animal park where hundreds of monkeys live in a wooded environment. Unlike in a traditional zoo, several monkey species roam freely here, allowing you to admire the animals up close. Along the walking route, you will discover gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and many other monkey species as you stroll through the green park. Along the way, you will learn more about their behaviour, habitat and the nature conservation projects that Monkey Hill supports. Thanks to its combination of nature, education and special encounters, this is a fun and educational outing for young and old alike. Allow around two to three hours for a relaxed visit.
