Description
A day in the woods on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug is never boring. Certainly not when there are so many sights to see, such as stately villas and old forts!
Utrechtse Heuvelrug
You will soon drive into the vast nature of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. A wonderfully varied environment of deciduous and coniferous forests, heathlands and drifting dunes. The hilly landscape occasionally offers you surprising vistas. What makes this area extra special is the almost un-Dutch silence. And of course the grandeur of the many country houses and villas that have been built here over the centuries.
Fort Blauwkapel
At junction 55 you can take a trip to the National Military Museum at Soesterberg Air Base. Further on you will pass two other military sights: Fort Voordorp and Fort Blauwkapel, which was built in 1821 around the village of Blauwkapel. It was only in the 1960s that Blauwkapel lost its military function and it is now a protected villagescape. The fifteenth-century church Den Blauwen Capel is still in use in the village.
