If you’re looking for accommodation in Otterlo, start by considering what you’d like to focus on: De Hoge Veluwe National Park, art, architecture or museums. The national park can be accessed through an entrance in Otterlo, and the Nederlands Tegelmuseum is also located in the village. Other highlights range from the Kröller-Müller Museum’s sculpture garden and Jachthuis Sint Hubertus to insights into life beneath the earth’s surface.

Art, Architecture and Museums

The Kröller-Müller Museum’s sculpture garden covers 25 hectares and features more than 160 sculptures. This makes it an expansive outdoor art space. The display may change, so if you’d like to see a particular selection, check the museum’s latest information before your visit.

Jachthuis Sint Hubertus was the former country residence of the Kröller-Müller couple. It was designed by architect Hendrikus Petrus Berlage (1856–1934). Its former role as a country residence gives the house historical context, while Berlage is known for its architectural design. You can book a guided tour of the Jachthuis. As tour dates may change, check the currently available tour times when planning your visit.

The Nederlands Tegelmuseum is located in Otterlo and displays antique tiles dating from the 16th century to the present day. Its collection therefore spans a broad period rather than focusing on a single historical era. If you’re interested in tile art, a visit offers a way to explore several centuries of this art form.

Museonder is a free museum in the centre of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. It offers insights into everything that lives and once lived beneath the earth’s surface. Unlike views of forests, heathland and sand drifts, the focus here is on life underground, both past and present.

The main difference between the two museums is their subject matter and time frame: the Tegelmuseum displays tiles from the 16th century to the present day, while the Museonder focuses on what lives and once lived beneath the earth’s surface. This lets you choose between a collection of objects and a nature-themed experience; the Jachthuis adds architectural history and a bookable guided tour to the mix.

De Hoge Veluwe National Park: Landscape and Hiking

De Hoge Veluwe National Park is a nature reserve covering more than 5,000 hectares of woodland, heathland, grassland and sand drifts. These landscapes offer a distinct focus alongside the museums and architecture: here, nature and scenery shape the visit.

The national park’s hiking, cycling and driving map shows thirteen hiking routes. If a particular route is important to your plans, check the latest park information beforehand, as availability may change.
