    Hiking

    The history of Austerlitz goes back to 1804, when Auguste de Marmont, a general of Napoleon Bonaparte, gathered 18,000 men here, which corresponded to about half of his troops, and set up a camp called Camp d'Utrecht or Kamp van Utrecht. The warehouse soon attracted business people who found customers in the team.

    In 1804, de Marmont had his troops erect an eye-catching pyramid-shaped monument that the population called the Marmontberg. Although it is located in the municipality of Woudenberg, it is now known as the Pyramid van Austerlitz as the symbol of the village.

    Austerlitz is a small village named after the "Pyramid". It is located in the heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
