Walking through estates near Bilthoven

Between Bilthoven and Bosch & Duin you walk through some beautiful, connected country estates. First you walk your legs on the leafy and car-free Dennenweg. You pass a number of beautiful houses here. Then you walk a bit through the Panbos, a relatively young forest where mainly Scots pines grow. In the adjacent Beerschoten Estate you walk through an English landscape park with a flowing stream, meadows and old avenues. If you don't see anyone for a while, you can secretly daydream about taking a stroll around your own country estate. Heyntjeskamp dates from 1645 and consists largely of deciduous forest on former drifting sand. Further on you pass the Knollentuin, a walled vegetable garden that used to belong to the Tannenberg country estate.
