From Zeist you drive through the Zeisterbossen. By Dutch standards, this is an old forest, as the trees are more than 200 years old. You then cycle around junction 10 through De Kozakput, a young mixed forest with many Scots pines. This forest is intersected by old avenues of beech and American oak. In Boswachterij Austerlitz you pass the White House, a former forest ranger's residence. Den Treek was originally a medieval estate. At the edge of this vast forest you pass a nineteenth-century farm and gamekeeper's house. In the valley around Woudenberg you drive from junction 86 along the Grebbelinie. On the canal you can see some former military positions. You cycle back to Hotel FiGi via Woudenberg and the woods of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Time for a terrace!
