Apeldoorn lies on the eastern edge of the Veluwe, the largest contiguous nature area in the Netherlands, and at the same time borders the open agricultural lands of the IJssel valley and the Gelderse Vallei. On the transition from forest to arable land, orchards thrive: apples, pears and cherries feel at home on the light, well-drained sandy soils at the foot of the ridge. The region also has a long tradition of small-scale farms growing vegetables and soft fruits for the local market. A visit to a pick-your-own farm near Apeldoorn combines effortlessly with a walk through the Veluwe forests or a trip to Paleis Het Loo.
