(opens at 10:00). When finished at this museum, bus back to the
Arnhem station and catch another bus to Otterlo, near Hogue
Veluwe National Park. Once in Otterlo, you can take yet another
bus directly to the Kröller-Müller Museum (in the middle of the
national park), or walk 15 minutes to the entrance of the park and
borrow a bike to ride there (for all the details on Otterlo, see page
268). In the national park, do the museum first (closes at 17:00
in summer), then the Visitors Center (closes at 18:00 in sum-

on a long day and a late return to Amsterdam (bus or walk back
