The longest canal in Utrecht is called Oudegracht. You do not want to miss this canal with its wharf and cellars build underneath the street. There are 16 bridges across the 2km long waterway.

In Huis ter Heide you could make a stop at the swimming pool before you continue into the National Park to the National Military Museum.  The museum exhibits a technical collection of items that illustrate warfare through the ages. You walk underneath and beside fighter planes, along with artillery,  missiles, a dog-cart, and lots of guns. The museum offers a great view over an airport for gliders. You might consider booking a flight in a glider as you follow an outdoor track around the museum.

By bike to the drift sands of Soestduinen in a National Park in the Netherlands

Near Utrecht, in the Soesterduinen you can follow tracks up to 10 km long through extensive sand dunes south of the village of Soest. After forests were cut down in the Middle Ages and sheep cleared all vegetation on the remaining plain for centuries, the wind had free rein, and drift sands were created. The present landscape also consists of heathlands and forests. Here you are at the northern edge of the National Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug.

Address: You can park at the Openluchttheater at the Soesterbergstraat in Soest.
