"Expedition Robinson" in Ermelo? Go for Prison Island Veluwe

Are you looking for an “Expedition Robinson” activity in Ermelo that focuses on the will to survive, agility, and pure competition? It’s just a 15-minute drive from Ermelo to “ Kroongeheim ” in the Veluwe. According to legend, as early as 1896, the king would come to this hidden spot to escape court life and take on cunning challenges and agility tasks with his companions. Today, it’s up to your group to carry on that tradition.

Forget waiting for an outdoor tournament schedule. With Prison Island Veluwe , you’ll step into a complex of 26 cells where your team will be continuously tested on strength, balance, reaction time, and logic.

Suggestion: Participants focused on completing a physical challenge inside a cell—a scene from the terrace at Kroongeheim.
