Taste the silence on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug

In the vast forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, deciduous and coniferous trees grow together. Sometimes you drive through an avenue lined with old beeches, then again you smell that wonderfully fresh pine scent. The ridge is also known for the majestic villas that wealthy merchants built here as holiday homes around 1900. You will see a number of them on your route. The route also takes you over a very special area: that of the former Soesterberg air base. Where once the tires of fighter jets smoked, you can now let the wheels of your steel horse roll. In the beautifully renovated National Military Museum you will find interesting exhibitions with many historical and new weapon systems.
