Tips

If you’d like to extend the trip, consider adding a day in the Veluwe to explore the Deelerwoud forest or a visit to the National Railway Museum in Utrecht, both pet‑friendly. To shorten the journey, you could skip the Giethoorn leg and head directly from Amersfoort to Arnhem, saving a few hours of driving while still enjoying the main highlights.
