Keep an eye on this page!
When they hear about Utrecht, people often think of the city with its bustle and compactness. Yet Utrecht consists of much more than that; the province also has very beautiful nature reserves such as the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, De Blauwe Kamer and the Zeisterbos. Utrecht also has many walking routes along rivers, canals and lakes. Moreover, Utrecht has a central location in the Netherlands, which means that other provinces are relatively easily and quickly accessible. That's handy, because according to The Nature Pyramid, to stay healthy, you need to go out to nature once a week on a regional scale and once a month on a national scale!
