This is a route from a magazine. We made this nearby walk because the weather was said to get rainy in the afternoon, and since we could start early, we might have a dry walk: little time was lost for travelling to the starting point. It pais off – almost: The last few kilometers we walked in light rain – too much to require a raincoat to be worn, but not that heavy that we had to put on our rain-protected trousers.
The track runs through woods, hits the village of Austerlitz where we had a rest in restaurant “De Jonckvrouw”, headed for Maarn (cross the road! otherwise you will head into the entrance to the motorway) and get passed the former sandpit – where once was a hill named “Maarnsche Berg”, there is now a hole in the surface – to become a recreation area but nature is allowed to restore itself – so it’s closed for the public at the moment; finally getting back near the station of Zeist-Driebergen.
The walk has been tracked in Garmin, general and Excel formats, and some images to give an impression of the area we passed.
