Blossom and Fruit
This route is called the Blossom and Fruit Walking Route, but it’s well worth a visit in any season. If you walk this route in spring, the fruit trees will be in bloom and you can enjoy the beautiful and wonderfully fragrant blossoms. In summer, it’s cherry season and you’ll find cherry stalls along the route where you can buy fruit. In autumn, there are apples and pears – and, of course, the orchards in their most beautiful autumn colours. In winter, you can enjoy a breath of fresh air before warming up again in the cosy village of Wijk bij Duurstede.
