Walking through De Meern and Leidsche Rijn

It is a quiet walk in the suburbs of Utrecht. This route takes you through De Meern and Leidsche Rijn. A walk full of natural beauty and sights.

Castellum High Woerd
Just before junction 23 you will pass museum Castellum Hoge Woerd. Here you will learn more about the Roman finds that have been made in this area, such as a ship and the remains of the Fletio border fortress. A path leads from the museum through the orchard to a replica Roman watchtower.

Maxima Park
From junction 53 you walk through the Binnenhof, the heart of the Máximapark. A beautiful area of water features, avenues and bridges. At junction 52 you walk along the Viking Rhine: the original course of the Old Rhine. Terrifying Drakars once sailed here over the water. Ducklings are swimming now. You walk along the leafy banks of the Leidsche Rijn to the small park called De Hoge Weide.
