3. Commemorate history

Situated on the border between Leusden and Amersfoort is one of the most well-known World War Two remembrance centres. The former camp has a rich history, with approximately 37,000 prisoners being held for short or longer periods between 1941 and 1945. When the war was over, people wanted to erase the horrors as soon as possible. Although the camp was reduced to only its foundations, the atmosphere remains palpable. A beautiful memorial site was created, where the events can be commemorated.

Take the time to completely unwind at Thermen Soesterberg! This resort with sauna and wellness facilities is located in a wooded area, which creates a very calming effect. Thermen Soesterberg has delightful gardens, various rest areas and a restaurant. This is the ideal location for a relaxing day! To make sure you can visit, we recommend that you book in advance.

5. Sand drifts in Soester Duinen

The Soester Duinen are located to the south of Soest and the area is well-known for its large sand drifts. Places where sand drifts originate are rare in the Netherlands, and this is why the province of Utrecht has declared this area a monument. The area is wonderful for walks and discovering nature; this is a fun activity for children too. The surroundings are beautiful and very suitable for taking a seat to rest, or to enjoy a picnic.
