Cycling and walking routes in the Veluwe
If you want to start your day with an active pursuit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, why not go walking or cycling in the Veluwe countryside? The cycling, walking and Nordic walking routes that start from the hotel take you through beautiful countryside and pretty villages. You can begin your cycling or walking tour with a delicious cup of coffee or a tasty lunch in the Dug Out bar.
Running and mountain-biking in the Veluwe
If you prefer to enjoy the fabulous surroundings of Arnhem and the Veluwe while running or riding an ATB (mountain bike), Papendal is the ideal starting and finishing point, as the hotel is very close to woodlands and areas of natural beauty. When you have had enough exercise or fancy a rest, you can relax on the terrace of the Dug Out bar.
Running or jogging
At Papendal a special route has been set out for runners and joggers. This ‘Papendal tour’ is two kilometres long. The signs along the route point you in the right direction.
ATB (mountain bike)
Start your mountain bike tour from Papendal and follow the ATB route that runs through the grounds and beyond. The route takes you in woods and meadows via sandy paths, asphalt paths and single-track roads.
