From Rhenen over the Utrechtse Heuvelrug

Through the woods to Leersum
The starting point of this route is just outside Rhenen. From here you can cycle into the green forests in no time. De Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park is the largest forest area in the Netherlands after the Veluwe, so there is certainly plenty to explore there. This route introduces you to part of these forests and will probably leave you wanting more. After cycling for more than 20 kilometers you will arrive in Leersum. This small village at the foot of the Heuvelrug is mainly known for the flower parade that is held every year in August. You will also find the Leersumse Veld nature reserve near Leersum. This area is also called 'the quietest place in the Netherlands'.

Allurepark De Thijmse Berg
You then cycle further through Amerongen and Elst to Rhenen. You ultimately end your trip at Allurepark De Thijmse Berg. Here you can book a chalet or cottage to spend the night in wonderful comfort after your active trip. From here you can also follow route 533220.

Mill Maallust
In Amerongen you cycle past the Maallust mill. There was already a mill on the site in 1541, but it was replaced in 1830 by the current stone mill. This is the only belt mill in all of Utrecht. The mill operated until the 1920s and then the mill quickly went downhill. In 2008, the mill was restored to its former glory as far as possible. The mill is now ready to grind again.
