Route Summary
A wonderful route in the province of Utrecht where you can take an hour or five off with breaks. You start at Van der Valk Hotel De Bilt, then the road meanders through the Utrechtse Heuvelrug to Leersum and crosses the Amsterdam Rijnkanaal. You take a piece of Lekdijk along and you can see an old brick factory along the Lek, nice for the picture! Then cross the canal at Wijk bij Duurstede again and not much further you drive past Kasteel Duurstede, also a nice photo opportunity. On the Lekdijk you continue towards Amerongen where you cross the Lek. On the other side of the Lek to Kesteren and not much further again cross the Lek, so take some change for the pontjes. Over the Lek de Grebbeweg towards Rhenen, on the way you can stop at the very impressive Ereveld Grebbelinie where there was fierce fighting during the German invasion in the 2nd World War. Beyond Rhenen a nice piece of Utrechtse Heuvelrug and then the final station at Kasteel Amerongen. All in all a route that is definitely worth it, lots of fun!
