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.

You start quietly in the sun with a drink, a game and good food, and end (accidentally) with a lost voice at the front of the dance floor.
