Description
It is wonderful to walk through nature on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. This route takes you through the Zeisterbos and through the Heidestein Estate.
Zeisterbos
The route starts at Woudschoten Hotel & Conference Center, a beautiful hotel in the middle of the woods. Such an environment naturally inspires you to put on your walking shoes. Dogs are not allowed on this estate. From the hotel you can walk straight into the Zeisterbos. An old forest by Dutch standards, as the trees are more than 200 years old. The forest floor is covered with Solomon's seal, bilberry, rowan and honeysuckle. Just after a rain shower, this produces wonderful scents!
Heidestein estate
At the Heidestein Estate you pass a sheepfold from 1884 that is now used as an information center for the Utrecht Landscape. Drenthe heath sheep roam the open field around the sheepfold. Heidestein consists of a mosaic of coniferous and deciduous forests, heathlands and drifting sands. There are a few benches on the heath to enjoy the view and the peace and quiet.
