Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park, National park between Hellendoorn and Rijssen-Holten, Netherlands.

The park spans 35 square kilometers of rolling heathlands and forests, featuring the Koningsbelt peak rising 75 meters above Amsterdam's standard elevation.

During the Saalien glaciation 150,000 years ago, ice movements formed the moraine landscape, creating the distinctive elevated terrain of the region.

The Holten Canadian War Cemetery within the park contains 1,393 graves of World War II soldiers, serving as a memorial site for visitors.

Multiple access points with parking facilities connect to an extensive network of paths for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding through diverse landscapes.

The area maintains the last Dutch population of black grouse and contains extensive cranberry growths across its protected heathlands.
