Experience Summary

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Veluwe with the Wild Talk experience — a unique afternoon and evening adventure. At 15:30 you set out on a guided forest walk led by a local expert, learning about the wildlife and landscapes of the area. From 17:00 the experience shifts to the fire: enjoy a drink and amuse-bouche before gathering for a “wild cooking” BBQ dinner. The menu features local game and seasonal produce, cooked live over open flames in the forest atmosphere.

After this full sensory journey of walking and dining, retreat to your campervan for a peaceful night at a nearby campsite. For extra adventure, you can add a mountain biking session on the Veluwe trails either before or after the main experience.

Plan your trip

Top tips for this trip
Book early — The Wild Talk guided walk often sells out, so secure your spot in advance. MTB access is easy — No booking needed; just rent a bike or bring your own to hit the trails. Use the free bikes — The Veluwe is famous for its white bicycles, free to use inside De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Try an e-MTB — Especially fun for kids, making it easier to cover more of the forest. Bring layers — Forest evenings can be cool, even in summer.
Best time of year
Apr–Jun (Spring blooms): Forest comes alive with flowers and wildlife, pleasant temps 15–20°C. Jul–Aug (Summer outdoors): Warm days (20–28°C) perfect for walking, BBQ, and cycling, but popular — book early. Sep–Oct (Autumn colors): Crisp walks under golden leaves, cooler nights (10–15°C), quieter trails.
Not yet convinced to travel by RV?
Prefer not to camp? Stay in a boutique woodland hotel such as Hotel de Sterrenberg — an adults-only design hotel surrounded by Veluwe nature and close to the park entrance.
