A walk around Zeist Castle
This trail links woodlands and country estates through a number of winding farmland tracks. It takes in such sights as the De Breul estate and its delightful English landscape garden, the Heidestein estate and its sheep pen, and last but not least Zeist Castle. Its first inhabitant was William of Nassau, Lord of Odijk – a grandson of Maurice, Prince of Orange.

The walk also includes the old Forest of Zeist, which boasts a number of Scots pines dating as far back as 1795.
