Wijk bij Duurstede and Utrechtse Heuvelrug
Cycling in a historical landscape with hills, forests, heathlands, fields, meadows, orchards, mansions, avenues, floodplains, and rivers.
The Landscape
In the historical landscape north of the Lower Rhine, the low and wet river landscapes meet the high and dry sandy soils of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. It is a magnificent area where you can relive history. From the Lower Rhine to the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, a historical landscape unfolds with impressive estates, imposing castles, farmsteads, orchards, pollard willows, meadows, floodplains, and sandbanks. They form a stark contrast with the rolling hills, dense forests, and beautiful dune and heath areas in the higher regions of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
