Fortress bij Rijnauwen
Together with Amelisweerd, this is Utrecht's most popular outdoor area.- By Stephan + 2
- Berne: “It’s hard to miss Fort Rijnauwen if you go on your morning runs around the forest in Amelisweerd. 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”
- Manu : “The fort itself is really nice, and I also like the woods around it. There are often playful sheep around the fort!”
- Stephan: “I love to take a walk in the countryside and enjoy the beautiful weather.”
