Laarsenberg walking route

(4.6 km)

This walking route takes you around the Laarsenberg near Rhenen. It’s a lovely walk that can easily be combined with a visit to the town of Rhenen. The route winds its way through a mix of deciduous and coniferous woodland, beautiful cornfields, past burial mounds and historic farmhouses. At its highest point, the Laarsenberg offers a magnificent view over the Gelderse Vallei. And although the slope of the Laarsenberg is less steep than, for example, the Grebbeberg, the complex of ‘graften’ (a kind of mini-terrace on a slope) is unique and is found nowhere else except in South Limburg. The route also passes the bear enclosure at Ouwehands Zoo.

Still not had enough of walking after this route? Then you can extend the route with a walk over the Grebbeberg. For this walk, follow the white markings from the starting point.
