Local events
In and around De Utrechtse Heuvelrug, there are beautiful forests and charming villages, but there is also plenty to do in terms of events! Throughout the year, numerous fun activities and festivals are organised for young and old. Here you will find an overview of events in the area (if they are taking place soon).
Bike excursion - Stories of 100 years of (military) aviation history
Park Air Base Soesterberg has seen all of aviation history pass by since 1910. The foundations for the Royal Air Force were laid here and it is now the domain of many special fliers, such as the skylark. Every period in this more than 100-year history can be found at the airbase. During the bicycle excursion of about 10 kilometers you will be taken along special places and enter unique areas and buildings that are not freely accessible. You will also get a view of the unique nature that was created here despite or thanks to aviation.
