The Kromme Rijnstreek and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug

Along the Kromme Rijn you cycle through the Niënhof estate. On the edge of Zeist you pass the famous castle that was built in the seventeenth century by order of Willem Adriaan van Nassau. A little later you cycle into the forests on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Here you can enjoy many kilometres of paths that lead you between deciduous and coniferous trees. From junction 5 you start to descend the hills and cycle into the Kromme Rijnstreek. In this vast polder landscape you can fully enjoy the peace and quiet. You pass through Werkhoven, which enjoys a protected village view. You cycle a bit along the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, after which you pass Fort Vechten just past junction 98. There is also a replica of a Roman watchtower here. The route ends at Stayokay Utrecht - Bunnik.
