Before you go

Fees

The national park and Buitencentrum visitor centre are free. Parking at some steunpunten requires a permit from the visitor centre.

Safety

Supplies

No shops inside the park — stock up in Nijverdal, Rijssen, or Holten before entering.

Transport

No buses cross the park; bring your own bike or rent from companies in Hellendoorn, Haarle, or Holten (€15-35/day).
