The Dom may be the highest point in Utrecht, but the Amerongse Berg, at 69.2 meters, is the highest natural peak in the province. And you're going to climb it today! That promises to be another 10 kilometers of natural wonders.
The top is already quite at the beginning of the route, so those calves are immediately put to work. The mountain is hidden in the Amerong forest, which is one of the oldest forests in the Netherlands. Fortunately, there are several viewpoints here and there on and around the top. Bring your binoculars and stare!
When you've had enough, continue the tour through the forest and over the heathland of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, where more beautiful views await you. With a bit of luck the weather is nice and you can see very far. Do you spot the Lange Jan in Amersfoort or maybe even the windmills at the Eemmeer, which is no less than 63 kilometers away?
In this beautiful forest full of trees, there is also loneliness; just before the end point, an oak stands all alone on the field. However, this loneliness does not look really sad with the power that the impressive tree radiates. Around the oak you can keep the tree company on a bench. Enjoy the peace and quiet for a while before you walk back to Amerongen.
In Amerongen you can enjoy a snack and a drink after the beautiful walk. If you still have time and energy left, you can visit the imposing Amerongen Castle. For on the road today you take water and snacks with you in your backpack.
The circular walk starts and ends close to Amerongen Castle. Here you can park the car. For those coming by public transport: at Driebergen-Zeist station you can take bus line 50 to 'Amerongse Berg'.
