Utrechtse Heuvelrug Country House Route: tour of Doorn and Driebergen

Your route starts at Hotel Landgoed Zonheuvel. Today you will cycle through the heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. In this national park, heathlands, open sandy plains and deciduous and coniferous forests alternate in a gently sloping landscape. No wonder that many country houses were built here centuries ago. You will pass the striking Poorthuis Ruiterberg from 1917. A little later you will drive a bit through the valley around Langbroek. Here you see a typical landscape with rectangular plots. There are also nice buildings here, such as the Leeuwenburgh country residence, which dates from 1657. At Buitenlust Reyck you are welcome for a drink and a snack before you explore the Austerlitz Forestry. Towards the end of your route you will pass Huize't Stort, a villa from 1903.
