Before, during or after a walk around Rhijnauwen and Amelisweerd, you can go to Theehuis Rhijnauwen for a tasty snack and drink. And they certainly don't just have tea! You can also enjoy the tastiest savory and sweet pancakes here. In winter you can do this cozy inside, and when the weather is good you can sit on the terrace by the water.

Nieuw-Amelisweerd Manor

Highlight • Historical Site

Country estate Nieuw-Amelisweerd is located on the Amelisweerd estate. A little further away is the Oud-Amelisweerd country house. The history of Nieuw-Amelisweerd goes back to the 13th century. The country house was severely damaged in the 17th century. A few years later, the original house was demolished and the current country house was built, where you will see many 18th and 19th century elements in the architectural style.

Kromme Rijn White Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Here you can take a wonderful walk along the water all the way to the city center. For day visitors, it's worth parking outside the university and following this beautiful path into the city. Splendid!

There's plenty of aquatic life to be seen in the water, including two kingfishers …
