Experience Nunspeet: Art and Nature in the Heart of the Netherlands



Located on the edge of the Veluwe – the largest forest area in the Netherlands – Nunspeet is a charming blend of artistic history and rugged nature. Whether you are looking for a quiet holiday or an active one, this village offers a typical Dutch experience.

A glimpse into history



The history of Nunspeet is one of transformation. Originally a humble farming and woodcarving community, it became a renowned artists' village between 1880 and 1950. Painters were attracted by the unique "Veluwe light" and the raw beauty of the landscape. Today, this creative heritage is preserved in the village's architecture and local galleries.

Nature and landscape



Nunspeet is a paradise for nature lovers. It is located at the crossroads of three different landscapes:

The Forests: Dense forests, perfect for spotting red deer and wild boar.

The Sandbanks: The nearby Hulshorster Zand feels like a desert in the middle of Europe.

The Water: The Veluwemeer lake offers beaches and water sports just a short bike ride away.

Food and local specialties



Although you will find modern Dutch cuisine here, look out for these local specialties:

Game


During the hunting season (autumn), local restaurants serve exquisite game and wild boar from the Veluwe.

Veluwse Kruidkoek


A spicy, dark gingerbread cake, often enjoyed with a thick layer of butter.

Poffertjes


Although these small, fluffy pancakes can be found all over the country, eating them at a local market stall is a classic holiday treat.

Things to do and see



Noord-Veluws Museum: Delve into the history of the painters who put Nunspeet on the map.

Veluwe Transferium: Climb the 30-meter-high observation tower for a panoramic view of the forest canopy.

Cycling: Rent a "fiets" and explore the endless network of paved paths through the heather.

Shopping and festivals



The village center offers a cozy mix of high-street brands and independent shops.

Market Day: Every Thursday morning, the village square comes alive with fresh cheese, stroopwafels and local crafts.

Eibertjesdag: This traditional folklore festival, held in spring, features locals in historical costumes, traditional dances and a bustling market.
