Autumn fall age12/19/2023 It’s one of the most fun events in The Netherlands in autumn. You’ll be able to roam the museums, see special exhibitions, join workshops and listen to live music. And the good news is: every autumn Amsterdam organises Museum Nacht (night of the museums) on which it’s possible to visit the cities’ most awarded museums at night, including the Anne Frank House, Hermitage, Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. And so I should be, right? Personally, I think some of the Dutch top museums are so good you could easily spend a day and a night there, exploring some of the best art in the world. With Dutch masters like Vermeer, Rembrandt and Van Gogh I do feel kinda proud when it comes to our museums. Museum Nacht in Amsterdam, photo by Bas de Brouwer. From October until the start of January you’ll find some amazing dishes with game on the menu, as well as their home-brewed dark beer. Orangerie De Pol has constructed a beautiful glass dome to dine in, so you will always have dinner under the stars, no matter what the weather is like. One of the most exciting restaurants in The Netherlands is tucked away in the woods near Doetinchem and Gaanderen in the far east of The Netherlands, where they know how to prepare game properly. If you’re after a real Dutch autumn experience, I highly recommend also spending the night at De Echoput, so you can enjoy the restaurant and the atmosphere to its fullest. De Echoput has been there for over 65 years and is famous for its dishes with Dutch game and wild mushrooms. The restaurant is situated near ‘t Loo, one of Holland’s most famous castles and in the middle of Hoge Veluwe National Park, where a lot of game comes from. De Echoputīoth the location and the menu of De Echoput are unique. Chef Manfred Majoor and his team always let the seasons guide them and in autumn they find the most harmonious combinations. Planken Wambuis is one of the most famous restaurants for eating game in The Netherlands and is located in Eede, not too far from Hoge Veluwe National Park. You can expect dishes with venison, wild boar, wood pigeon, duck and hare. Most of the Dutch game comes from the east of the country and this is also where you can go for a really nice meal. The end of October officially marks the beginning of game season and this is when dishes with game start appearing in restaurants all over The Netherlands. De Olmenhorst estate is a beautiful place for apple picking. So I won’t let you commit any offences and kindly point you in the direction of places where you can simply show up and do some apple picking. But to be honest: basically, everything is private property in The Netherlands. You can pick apples that don’t grow on private property. Autumn is truly apple season in The Netherlands. When I am on one of my afternoon bike rides in autumn, I just smile when I see trees and trees full of red apples. If you feel like taking a walk or a bike ride along the beautiful Dutch Moorlands (called ‘Heide’) take a look here to see which routes you can take or read my article about heather fields in The Netherlands. From the beginning of September, the heather in the Dutch moorlands is in full bloom and big parts of The Netherlands are covered in a sloping blanket of 50 shades of purple and lilac. When I say that The Netherlands are stunning in autumn, I am absolutely not exaggerating.
