This route takes you through the woods around Soest and Bilthoven. First you drive through the protected cityscape of Baarn. There are many monumental villas in this park-like environment. Further on you cycle past the former Soestdijk Palace. The originally seventeenth-century hunting lodge was sold to a company in 2017. On the outskirts of Soest you will pass the Oude Kerk from 1350. Around the church you will see many ancient monuments. Further on you enter the Soestduinen. From here you drive many kilometers through a mix of coniferous and deciduous forests, wonderful! In the middle of all that natural beauty you pass through Lage Vuursche, which enjoys a protected village view. The Stulpkerk originally dates from 1659, the current Drakensteyn Castle dates from 1640. The route ends at Pannenkoekenboerderij De Wildenburg.

Sights
Paleis Soestdijk
The Crown Prince and his Russian wife had Soestdijk completely renovated into a real summer palace. Everything was decorated in Empire style with two extra side wings. During the Second World War, Soestdijk Palace housed many foreign soldiers, but when peace returned, the Royal family also returned to the palace. When Princess Beatrix was honored as queen in 1980, the palace no longer became a royal residence. Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard lived there until their death in 2004. Pending a new use, the palace was temporarily opened to the public.
Drakensteyn
The history of Drakensteyn dates back to 1360, when this castle was first written about. In 1634 Ernst van Reede became the owner of Drakensteyn. His son Gerard had a new, octagonal house built in 1640. The house was then recognized as a ridderhofstad and Gerard became a knight. He then also built a presbytery, a school, a mill and an inn in the village.
