Nature and parks of Netherlands
Several major national parks are located on the territory of the Netherlands. The indulgent summer, when the average temperature in July is about 18 degrees Celsius, makes hiking comfortable and even more interesting. It is important to consider that the climate is quite rainy, and therefore, when going outside, you need to know the weather forecast. The oldest is Veluwezoom Park. It is located on 50 square meters, close to the province of Gelderland.
