From Camping't Einde you can take a beautiful bike ride along the floodplains of the Neder-Rijn, through the Amerongse Bos and through the polders of the Kromme Rijnstreek. In Leersum you will pass the Michaelskerk from 1300. A little further on you can enjoy the historic atmosphere in the protected village of Amerongen. You drive through the Amerongse Bos and the Remmersteinse Bos, two of the oldest forests on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Large beeches grow on the stately avenues, a beautiful sight. On the other side of the Lower Rhine you drive through a very open landscape. On the dike you can see Molen De Hoop Rijswijk, a flour mill from the eighteenth century. In the historic city center of Wijk bij Duurstede you will discover the restored castle ruins with its square keep from 1270.

Camping't Eind is located right next to De Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park, in the middle of a rolling landscape and surrounded by cozy rural villages. The ideal base for long cycling and walking tours through the beautiful surroundings! The landscape here seems to come straight out of a picture book; the farms along the Gelderse Vallei, the cows lazily grazing, the romance of the forest. You can also enjoy the country life feeling at the campsite. Wake up to the twittering of the birds, read a good book at your leisure after a nice bike ride. Both the mobile homes and the tourist pitches are equipped with every comfort.
Sights
Molen De Hoop Rijswijk
The De Hoop windmill is located on Molenweg in Rijswijk in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a round stone ground sailor from the first half of the 18th century, which replaced an earlier mill. De Hoop is located in the floodplains of the Lek.
Parc Broekhuizen
There was already a castle on the Broekhuizen estate in the Middle Ages. This castle was transformed into a private house in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. First the old castle was replaced by a white country house and later that country house was expanded. This created a three-storey building with a striking center section. The manor then burned down completely in 1906, but has since been restored to its former glory. Until 1965 the house was in the hands of different owners. After that, Broekhuizen came into the hands of the government, which established the National Institute for Nature Management there. They then sold the country house to Staatsbosbeheer and the house is now in the hands of a new owner. The mansion has been completely renovated inside in the meantime.
