Amelisweerd
Landgoed Amelisweerd
A historic estate woodland on the southeast edge of Utrecht, with country mansions, a nursery restaurant and bridge-side paths, popular with locals for weekend cycling and walks.
Amelisweerd is a large estate woodland just southeast of Utrecht. Along the winding Kromme Rijn river lie the Old and New Amelisweerd mansions, orchards and ancient beech woods. The nursery restaurant in the woods (De Veldkeuken) and the tearoom at nearby Rhijnauwen estate are popular spots for a leisurely country lunch. It's about a 20-minute bike ride from the city centre and free to enter, and it pairs well with the Water Defence Line Museum for a half-day ride. Some mansions only open during special events.
