Memories of the Dutch team around Baarn

Pancake farm De Wildenburg
The starting point of this route is at a parking lot just outside Baarn. From here you cycle to the former Orange Museum Baarn on the edge of the city. You pass through the Baarnse Bos, a forest area of 80 hectares on an offshoot of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. After cycling just over 10 kilometers you can take a break at Pannenkoekenboerderij De Wildenburg. Here you can satisfy your hunger with a delicious pancake made from ancient grains such as spelt and oats. That certainly gives enough energy for the rest of the route.

Soestdijk Palace
Then you cycle through various beautiful nature reserves on the edge of Hilversum. Soestdijk Palace is located on the edge of Soest. From 1937 this was the residence of Princess and later Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard. The first homestead on this site was built in 1650. It was even inhabited for a while by King Louis Napoleon, the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, but since the founding of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, the castle has been in the hands of Orange.

Lage Vuursche
Near Baarn you will find the small village of Lage Vuursche. You cycle around this village on this route. Lage Vuursche has a protected villagescape with historic houses from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and dozens of national monuments. Here you can take a look at the reformed Stulp Church. Drakensteyn Castle is also a stone's throw from this village.
