The Kröller-Muller Museum is located about two hours from Amsterdam in the Netherlands by train and bus. It has many works by impressionist Van Gogh, and the famous "Night Terrace" is located here. The museum is located in a national park, and you can get to the museum by bicycle from the entrance to the national park. The experience of facing the paintings in the middle of nature was very rare, and I'm really glad I went. It's a bit difficult to go alone, but you can do it as a day trip from Amsterdam, so please do visit. #FreeTourWinter #0YenTrip

#europetrip #vianasjourney #awesomepic The Veluwe features many different landscapes, including hills, woodland, heath, and some small lakes. It is the largest national park that I have been to so far in The Netherlands which also offer free entrance for walking, cycling and horse riding. I especially enjoy walking around the park in summer (around August) because of the heather flower is in full bloom. The view surrounding is especially mesmerising during this period. Apart from wild horses, and deer, Scottish Highland cattle can sometimes be seen around in the wild.

The Netherlands, the popular attraction of Otaru, the Kulem Mule Art Museum If the Dutch capital of Amsterdam has Van Gogh's museum and is worth punching, personally feel that the Cule Muller Art Museum is the most worthy of Van Gogh fans Punch the museum. The Kule Muller Art Museum is famous for its large collection of Van Gogh works. The Van Gogh Museum is not so much, it is super unexpected. The founder of the museum, Mrs. Helen Kullmuller, collected 278 pieces of Van Gogh's work, and "Self-portrait" was placed here. In addition to Van Gogh's work, the Kulem Mule Gallery also houses works by many other world-renowned artists, such as: Serra, Picasso, etc., in 1903-92, Helen Kulemuller I bought nearly 1,1,500 pieces of art and became the largest private collection of the twentieth century. It really embodies that the rich are simply not happy, and their happiness is beyond your imagination! The largest sculpture park in Europe/ Hh/ In addition to a variety of paintings, there is also one of the largest sculpture parks in Europe. Unlike museums, where they are scattered directly in every corner of the park, it takes a lot of time to collect each sculpture. Oh, and all the sculptures are from the hands of masters. From the 19th century to the present artists, Rodin, Moore, Barbara Hepworth, etc., you can find their works here. It is worth mentioning that there is also the work of Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang on display The tiger that has been worn by all the people. Personally feel that this work should appeal to everyone to protect the environment and ecology. It is quite worth seeing. You can take the train to Ede-Wageningen or Apeldoorn station, then take the High Veluwe National Park and then enter the museum from here. Tickets are available for tickets and hours national parks and museums. Tickets can be purchased directly. You can also drive by yourself, of course, you need to pay extra. The statue garden was closed at 4:30 pm, and Monday is the closing day, so remember to come over earlier. By the way, don't forget to rent a noon guide for easy access.
