Tour of Kootwijkerbroek and Wekeromse Zand

Your route starts at Restaurant De Bunckman. Today you will make a beautiful trip from Voorthuizen to Kootwijkerbroek. In this region you have a beautiful view of the forest and fields. You will also see some beautiful thatched farms, a wonderful change. Cycling along the edge of the Wekeromse Zand you will pass a few interesting places. The Wekeromse Zand near Ede was already inhabited in the Iron Age. You will find the largest Celtic fields complex in the country there. Celtic fields are prehistoric fields consisting of fields of approximately 40 x 40 meters, surrounded by walls. They belong to an agricultural system that was practiced throughout northwestern Europe, from Sweden to Ireland. A little further on you will see The Germanic Well, a several-metre-deep pit where farmers fetched water at that time.
