Nature Reserve Amelisweerd
Tip! Explore Amelisweerd with a canoe!- By Thomas + 1
- Vito : “In the summer it is really great to picnic here and swim in the Kromme Rijn. Bring a swimming ring and go with the flow!”
- Thomas : “Living in the science park means living a bit far from the city but quite close to nature. Taking walks around the science park it is a good way to reconnect after a long week.”
Juliana Park
Park, playground and zoo all in one!- By Benjamin + 1
- Studentlife Team: “Visiting this park is the best way to reconnect with nature and boost your well-being by surrounding yourself with animals like chickens, sheep, and ducks.”
- Benjamin: “Juliana Park is one of Utrecht's many parks, yet it stands out by offering a retreat from the noise of traffic and the city, all within a short distance from the city center. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, making it perfect for reading and escaping the stress of university life. In Juliana Park, you can feel at one with nature while still being in the heart of Utrecht.”
Fortress bij Rijnauwen
Together with Amelisweerd, this is Utrecht's most popular outdoor area.- By Manu + 1
- Nicole : “This is a favorite spot of mine because of the beautiful area with cozy cafes in the middle of nature. I enjoy going for a walk or a bike ride with friends here because of the peaceful surroundings.”
- Manu : “The fort itself is really nice, and I also like the woods around it. There are often playful sheep around the fort!”
