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 beech trees, then again you breathe in that wonderfully fresh pine scent. The ridge is also known for the majestic villas that wealthy merchants built here around 1900 as holiday homes. You will see a number of them on your route. The route also takes you over a very special terrain: that of the former Soesterberg air base. Where the tires of fighter jets once 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.
