Walk to Oud-Zuilen from Utrecht CS
On Sunday, my friend and I enjoyed our walk to Oud-Zuilen. We started at Utrecht and followed the Vecht River to our destination through a beautiful area with a lot of history.
Slot Zuylen, inhabited since 1247, took us back in time; the castle, the beautiful canals, and the snake wall were worthwhile to visit and see.
The clear sky with white clouds copied a typical 18th/19th-century scenery portrayed by famous Dutch Masters with Utrecht’s largest and smallest windmills, the Westbroekse and Buitenwegse wind mill, near Oud-Zuilen.
Living in the Utrecht area for almost 20 years off and on, I felt a bit ashamed, I had never visited this beautiful part of Utrecht. Apparently, I don’t have to travel far to find these gorgeous gems.
