Looking back on five years of Klimbos Garderen
Posted on Wednesday, June 28, 2017
"Five years ago we opened our Klimbos in Garderen. What started with three courses has now grown into a beautiful climbing park with no less than seven courses. Not to mention, this year we were voted second best active outing in the Netherlands!"
The following interview with Erik Kroon, owner and initiator of Klimbos Garderen, appeared in the Barneveldse Krant of June 27. Kroon's vision goes beyond just realizing the Klimbos in Garderen. His next step is to further develop Garderen and put it on the map as the Veluwe's first "outdoor" village. Kroon is already doing this with the bicycle rental chain VeluweSpecialist, which, like Klimbos Garderen, is part of SOS Events BV. At VeluweSpecialist, tourists can rent bicycles, e-bikes, (e-)mountain bikes, balance bikes, twizy's, among other things, including scenic routes across the Veluwe. "In addition, we are making plans with various entrepreneurs and regions to connect Garderen to an ATB network, bridle paths and hiking trails."
Klimbos Garderen expects to welcome 40,000 visitors this year, becoming the Veluwe's most popular and top-rated Klimbos in just five years. "We are not only the highest Klimbos, but also the safest. And the latter is most appreciated by our visitors. Because it gives you a safe feeling when you know that your children and yourself are constantly stuck on the course," Kroon said. Klimbos Garderen is suitable for young and old, school trips, sports training courses, children's parties, family and company outings, as well as agencies with difficult-to-educate children and people with disabilities
