Description
Conference hotel Kontakt der Kontinenten is located in a wooded area, making it the perfect base for a walk.
This route starts at a unique location: You walk over the old runway of Soesterberg Air Base. This was the first military airfield in the Netherlands. It was built in 1913 and since then the army has made flights to various remote areas from here. Due to budget cuts, the airfield was closed by the Ministry of Defence in 2008, which means that people can now cycle or walk at this unique location.
Over the runway you dive into the forests of Landgoed de Paltz. This is a beautiful old estate that was designed in 1876 by the landscape architects Copijn and Springer. The terrain consists of beech avenues, sight lines, water features, a stately villa, a coach house and a shepherd's house.
Then you make your way back to Conference Hotel Kontakt der Kontinenten, where you can look back on this beautiful walk in our restaurant KonneKt while enjoying a cup of coffee, tea or a soft drink.
