**Ride a classic steam train for a guaranteed trip down memory lane. Nostalgic Dutch vibes carry you across Gelderland. **
Tucked away in the village of Beekbergen in Apeldoorn, Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij is a steam train station ready to take you on a nostalgic journey. Admire the steam trains on display as you wander the station. Then, hop on board and admire the scenery of forests and cities as you travel to Dieren.
How about enjoying dinner on the steam train? Book a pancake dinner for a special event. Munch away as your train takes you all the way to Dieren and back. Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij also offers a Santa Claus experience for kids around Christmas.
The ‘Back to Then’ festival or Terug naar Toen is the annual event here held every first week of September here. More steam trains are out on display! It’s one of the biggest festivals of its kind in Europe and one of the cultural highlights of Apeldoorn.
