Outdoors in Utrecht

Hi everyone! For those who want to enjoy nature, trips/excursions, and generally a more outdoors setting, let’s get together for a hiking excursion! The plan is to meet at Utrecht Central (and/or a train station that is closest to our hiking area), and then we begin our hiking route.
For first-timers (or as a helpful reminder 😉), I recommend that you wear a comfy outfit & shoes and bring water & a snack or two. At some point during the excursion, we can take a break in between to rest and eat/drink for a while.

Depending on the time & weather, and whether people are up for it, there’s always the possibility of follow-up drinks later that day.

More info about the route/location:
Our route goes through a historic forest Het Solsche Gat. After that section, we continue to a beautiful valley called Ermelosche Heide.
The overall hike distance will be 15 km and starts from 1 sprinter station (Putten) and will end at Ermelo station. Both stations are directly connected to Utrecht

More tips on finding the group along with helpful contact info with the host will follow in the comments the day before the meetup.

To those interested, hope to see you there! 😄

In case of bad (NL) weather, the event might be moved to another day.

Hi everyone! For those who want to enjoy trips/excursions, and generally an urban outdoors setting, let’s get together for a city visit excursion! The plan is to meet at Utrecht Central (and/or a train station of the city destination), and then we begin our exploration walk.

For first-timers (or as a helpful reminder 😉), I recommend that you have your OV charged with some money if needed, and bring water & a snack or two. At some point during our visit, we can do a break in-between to rest and eat/drink for a while.

Depending on the time & weather, and whether people are up for it, there’s always the possibility of a follow-up dinner or drinks at the end of our exploration ✌
