Climbing and descending
From Amerongen you walk to the forest of De Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park. This route is especially suitable for hikers who like a climb. The moraine in this area causes differences in height, with the Amerongse Berg of around 60 meters above NAP as the peak. But you will also find heaths, shifting sands and flood plains. After a steep climb it is time to descend to Leersum. This village is known for the large flower parade that is held on the third Saturday and Sunday of August. This party is very special to experience, so be sure to take a look if you are in the area.
