Groene Heuvels is a park and festival grounds in Beuningen, a municipality in the Dutch province of Gelderland. As its name suggests, the site is a green, hilly area used for recreation, and it is commonly chosen as the setting for outdoor events and festivals.
What to expect
- A recreational landscape of open green space, suited to a relaxed day outside
- An outdoor setting that comes alive when festivals and events are held there
- A place that fits well into a day trip from the wider region around Nijmegen and the Betuwe
Because the grounds are used for events, the atmosphere can vary a great deal. On a quiet day you may find it a peaceful place for a walk, while during a festival it becomes a busy gathering point with music and crowds. Checking what is scheduled before you travel will tell you which version of the site you are likely to see.
Planning your visit
Beuningen itself is a small town, so it is worth thinking about how you will get there and what you would like to see nearby. The surrounding Gelderland countryside offers further walking and cycling routes, and the larger city of Nijmegen is within reach for those who want more to do in a day. Visitors who come for a particular festival should plan ahead, as event days are busier than ordinary ones.
