Walking through the Amelisweerd

After a cup of coffee at't Wapen van Bunnik, you walk through the park forest of Oud-Amelisweerd. Here you see two landscape styles. The straight avenues lined with trees belong to the Baroque style. The winding paths with vistas and water features are characteristic of the English landscape style. The country house on Oud-Amelisweerd houses a museum where you can view the Armando collection, among other things. Apartments are located in Landhuis Nieuw-Amelisweerd. The Rhijnauwen country house, located on the banks of the Kromme Rijn, has been a youth hostel since 1933, the oldest in the Netherlands. Fort near Rhijnauwen consists of barracks and flank batteries dug into earthen walls. The whole is surrounded by a double moat. The trees and shrubs are home to hundreds of species of plants and animals.
