Discover picking gardens

Of course you want to eat healthy – and preferably – as fresh as possible. You will find plenty of unsprayed fruit and vegetables in Apeldoorn’s picking gardens. At Stadsakkers in Zuidbroek, you can buy the tastiest organic products in the fresh food shop. And from June you can pick your own fruit at Pluktuin Apeldoorn in Wenum-Wiesel. Great for children to see for themselves exactly where the vegetables on their plates come from! And if you choose local produce, your ‘footprint’ is smaller too. Triple win-win!

Out and about in nature with a guide

Go out on your own with the wildlife spotting map!

ooking for red deer, roe deer, foxes, boars and Scottish highlanders in and around Apeldoorn? In the Kroondomeinen, near the Aardhuis and on the Loenermark, the chances of seeing wildlife are pretty good. But besides these, there are many more places in the villages around Apeldoorn where you can spot wildlife par excellence. Don’t forget your binoculars! The wildlife spotting map can also be picked up physically at the Tourist information Point in CODA Museum.
