Tour of Soesterberg Air Base and Pyramid of Austerlitz

The starting point of this route is at 't Eekhoornnest Bungalow Park - Estate. You will soon be cycling through the stately forests on the edge of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Here you will pass charming villages such as Bosch en Duin and Huis ter Heide. Wealthy merchants built their holiday homes here around 1900. Further along the route, you will come across an interesting stop to dismount: the National Military Museum, a museum located on the former Soesterberg air base. The area has largely been returned to nature. At the highest point of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, you will pass the Pyramid of Austerlitz, built in the nineteenth century by a French general as a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon won an important battle in Austerlitz, Czechoslovakia, in 1805.
