Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM) is a Dutch heritage railway between Apeldoorn and Dieren. It passes through the villages of Lieren/Beekbergen, Loenen, and Eerbeek. VSM operates mainly during the summer vacation since its rides on steam trains are popular with tourists visiting the region. VSM was founded in 1975 and is operated by volunteers.

For Architecture/urban enthusiasts, the original Structuralist "Centraal Beheer" building by Herman Herzberger is a must. Just a little further down the road, a subsequent project of his has been realised ("De witte wolken"), and may be interesting for comparison. Yet further still, and slightly to the north, the large "Walterboschcomplex" tax offices (by acclaimed architects Neutelings-Riedijk) can be viewed, representing some of the Netherlands' finest modern office architecture. As of 2022 though, the building sits very much derelict and neglected.
