Nature take its course again at Herikhuizen

© all rights reserved by Ben

Veluwezoom National Park is a national park located in the Dutch province of Gelderland. This park is the oldest national park of the Netherlands. It is an area of 50 square kilometers at the southeastern edge of the Veluwe. The landscape of the park consists of forests and heathland, which is kept open by grazing of Highland cattle, and a small sand drift, which is kept open by human maintenance. The native fauna is represented by red deer, wild boar, badger and the regionally rare pine marten. There are two wildlife observation posts on the Veluwezoom, allowing you to observe the local wildlife without disturbing the animals. Herikhuizen is a former farmhouse in the woods of the National Park Veluwezoom. After agricultural completion the farm was abandoned in the early nineties, and transformed by the National park in a ruin for the benefit of wildlife. The ruins of the old farmhouse adapted for natural living. For barn owls the wall remnants niches are made. The basement is designed for the resident of bats. Humans made a step back on Herikhuizen, nature should take its course again.

If you’re visiting the Veluwezoom, you have to climb the Posbank. The Posbank is a 90 metre high hill offering an unparalleled view of the reserve. In clear weather, you can see as far as 20 kilometres. You can freely walk and explore the roads and paths of the region, or take advantage of one of the many opportunities to discover the Veluwe by horse, bicycle or mountain bike. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself eye to eye with a red deer or wild boar! Photo of the ruin Herikhuizen.

Welkom op de Veluwezoom. Het oudste nationale park van Nederland, hoge toppen zoals de Posbank, eindeloze heidevelden en wild spotten. Vooral tegen zonsondergang loop je kans om wild te zien. Genoeg te ontdekken en beleven: gezellige dorpen, imposante landgoederen en de kronkelende rivier de IJssel. Geniet van Nationaal Park Veluwezoom, ruim 5100 hectare bos, heide, zandverstuivingen en statige landgoederen ten oosten van Arnhem. Het Veluwetransferium Posbank is het ideale startpunt voor een wandel- en/of fietsroute over de Veluwezoom en de Posbank. Vanuit hier kun je mooie tochten maken door Renkum en Rheden. Gelet op de lengte, het pittige klimwerk en de vele bezienswaardigheden zijn deze routes zeer geschikt voor een volledig dagje uit in de natuur. Herikhuizen is een voormalige boerderij in de bossen van het Nationaal Park Veluwezoom. Na beëindiging van het landbouwkundig gebruik werd de boerderij begin jaren negentig verlaten en in 1999 door de eigenaar Natuurmonumenten omgevormd tot een ruïne ten behoeve van flora en fauna. De ruïne van de oude boerderij is aangepast voor natuurlijke bewoning. Voor kerkuilen zijn in de muurrestanten nissen gemaakt. De kelder is geschikt gemaakt voor verblijfplaats van vleermuizen. De mens heeft op Herikhuizen een stapje terug gedaan, de natuur mag zijn gang hier weer gaan.
