The farmer on

During this varied tour you cycle from low to high. First through an open environment where meadows and estates predominate; they are alternated with waterways, woods and farms. But past Doorn it goes steeply up through the forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Suddenly a completely different landscape! During this route we pass two beautiful castles, namely Sterkenburg and Moersbergen. Moersbergen Castle is for sale. The current castle was built in 1435. It has been renovated several times since the 16th century. In the 18th century, the Utrecht architect Samuel Adrianus van Lunteren renovated the castle according to the fashion of the time. In 1927, Moersbergen Castle was thoroughly restored and brought back into Dutch Renaissance style. Along the way you will pass various farm addresses, where fresh produce from the land is for sale. Try a homemade ice cream, a piece of farm cheese or sit down on a farm terrace with a beautiful view. When planning your trip, please take into account the limited opening hours of the farms. This cycling route is offered to you by VVV Utrechtse Heuvelrug. More information about this region can be found at www.vvvheuvelrug.nl.
