October 12, 2025,Uitzicht op Kasteel de Haar – View of Kasteel de Haar rondtocht vanuit Haarzuilens

A beautiful autumn walk from Vleuten! Passes HaarZuilens and De Haar Castle. A section along the Haarrijnseplas lake.
Through meadows and grasslands on the De Haar estate. You'll see the beauty of the area again, and it's still a lovely area to visit.

Rebuilt between 1892 and 1912 on the remains of the old Huys te Haer. Because the village of Haarzuilens was in the way of the new garden …
