Description

After a cup of coffee at the Wapen van Elst, put on your walking shoes. You walk through the Amerongse Bos, among other things. Most of the forests on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug are a hundred years old, but some trees from the Amerongse Bos have been there since the 18th century. This used to be the hunting grounds of the lords of Amerongen Castle. The Amerongse Bos is also a lot higher, because it is located on the Amerongse Berg. You will also discover Plantation Willem III, one of the old tobacco plantations on the warm southern slope of the ridge. This plantation was founded in 1853, but tobacco cultivation became less profitable in the early 1900s. In the semi-open landscape there are still a few characteristic barns where the tobacco leaves were dried.
