This is another image I took at the Hoge Veluwe national park. We went there on a short break a couple of weeks ago, and on this day we made a nice long walk there.

About the Hoge Veluwe from the internet:

The Hoge Veluwe, the best preserved part of the Veluwe, is a large area of sandy soil which was given its present form during the Ice Age. Its featureless expanses of dunes, interspersed with heath and woodland, are interrupted in the south and east by moraines between 80 and 100m (260 and 330ft) high formed during the second-last ice age (the Saale/Riss glacial). This was an area of vast forests, patches of which were cleared for cultivation during the Middle Ages. Expanses of heath were left, grazed by large flocks of sheep, and the heath was cut for use in fertilizing the soil. The sand was blown off these bare patches, sometimes burying whole villages; dunes were built up from drift sand (e.g. the France Berg) and some areas were reduced to wasteland. In the 19th century reforestation schemes were launched in order to prevent the drifting of sand. Some depressions were filled with rainwater, forming lakes, mostly in the Deelense Veld (e.g. the Deelense Was).

The Hoge Veluwe is partly wooded and partly heathland. In addition to the plantations of conifers (mainly pines) in the southern and northeastern parts of the National Park there are red oaks (originally from North America), rhododendrons - particularly in the sculpture park and around St Hubertus lake - and deciduous trees. Particularly striking are the old and bizarrely shaped pine trees and the juniper bushes which have grown naturally.
