Variety is the name of the game on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug

This route combines the best of two worlds: the wooded Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the vast surrounding landscape. A journey full of varied natural beauty, therefore. The rich Dutch cultural history is not lacking either. Shortly after your departure, for example, you cycle through the protected village view of Renswoude. Cycling along the Dorpsstraat, you will see five blocks of 18th-century service quarters for the castle staff. At junctions 58 and 99, you pass a fortification of the Grebbe Line. You make a crossing over the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, after which you cycle via Elst to Amerongen. Here you can catch a glimpse of Amerongen Castle; the current building dates from the 17th century. Through the forests, you descend back into the Gelderse Vallei. After dismounting, enjoy a delicious meal at Restaurant De Dennen.
