There is a lot of history here as well. From the back garden of our former queen Beatrix’ residence to climbing the Pyramide of Austerlitz and many more places. The Utrechtse Heuvelrug is ideal for climbing and descending too, while ’t Gooi, the area beween Utrecht and Hilversum, is just perfect for catching some strade bianche. Fun fact, close to our former majesty’s back garden is the area with the most pancake restaurants per square kilometer in the world! Let’s have a stopover there.”
