Together with Amelisweerd, this is Utrecht's most popular outdoor area.- By Stephan + 2

The history behind the walls adds a bit of character to the forest and its beautiful flora and fauna. The sunset walks there are amazing too, definitely check it out in the early months of May, when it’s the perfect weather”
