Paltz Valley

stunning views and perfect for a picnic in the sun

beautiful view over the valley on the Paltz estate, which was created by sand excavation in the 1970s

Beautiful undulating and changing nature. The walk covers two areas that offer more than just beautiful nature. Paltz with as one of the highlights the Herman van Veen Arts Center (beautiful sunny terrace) in a beautiful villa and outbuildings and various statues. The other part of the walk takes you over the former Soesterberg airbase, where you walk from one object to another, ammunition depots and other storage sites hidden in nature. This location has been off-limits to the public for decades until the closure of this base. Due to the differences in height you will also come across beautiful viewpoints, including a wide view over the former runways in the distance. Now known as the widest cycle path in the Netherlands. For the enthusiast there is a museum with historical mostly military aircraft. In short, a surprising walk with more like nature.
