The route starts at Hotel Kontakt der Kontinenten on the edge of Soesterberg. A great starting point, because this way you immediately start in the forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park. In this rolling landscape it is wonderful to travel for miles through alternating deciduous and coniferous forests. You also pass through beautiful Amersfoort. In the Gelderse Vallei you drive through Woudenberg and Veenendaal, two beautiful towns where you can admire a lot of heritage. Get off in Renswoude at Bike Totaal Van Wijk Fietsen. At the foot of the ridge you will pass Den Treek, an estate whose history dates back to the fourteenth century. Further on you drive along the Valleikanaal, a watercourse that formed an important part of the Grebbe Line. You can still see some old casemates there.
