You don't have to travel abroad for beautiful nature photos. There are lovely spots nearby too, including stunning hilly areas. Alongside its well-known hills, the Netherlands also has hidden gems that are ideal for nature photography.
The Drentse Hondsrug is an extensive ridge that stretches from southern Drenthe to the north of Overijssel, with forests, heathland and shifting sands. It is also home to photogenic megalithic tombs.
The Nijmegen region and the adjoining German Reichswald offer gently rolling hills and extensive meadows, perfect for photographers looking for peace and quiet.
The Vechtdal lies along the River Vecht, with beautiful views and forests that are especially lovely in autumn. These lesser-known hilly areas give photographers the chance to capture quiet and unspoilt landscapes, away from the crowds.
Once you get a taste for it, the larger hills of the Ardennes and the Eifel are an excellent next step for anyone looking for a more challenging and varied landscape.
