This bike route brings the story of Emperor Wilhelm II to life. Cycling through the gorgeous rolling woodland of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, you'll pass two castles where Emperor Wilhelm II resided: Huis Doorn and Kasteel Amerongen. Both can be visited as part of a guided tour telling the story of the emperor's life in exile. Also on this route are the estates at Zonheuvel, with the imposing Maarten Maartenshuis, Parc Broekhuizen, Zuylestein and Maarsbergen, all well worth a visit. Experience the cultural heritage of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug by bike!
