  3. 5.0 Museum Het Hernhutter Huis (1 review)
    - Zeer interessant!
    Wednesday: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM History Museums
    Tijdens ons bezoek aan Zeist hebben we het Hernhutterhuis bezocht. We werden zeer vriendelijk ontvangen. We konden starten met een korte of met een lange film waarin de onstaansgeschiedenis van de Hernhutters werd uitgelegd. Daarnaast werden een aantal tradities belicht. Vervolgens was het mogelijk om de tentoonstelling te bezoeken. Door de informatiefilm begrepen we beter wat we zagen. Daarnaast was het ook mogelijk om een aantal schilderijen te bekijken. Het bezoek eindigt in de museumwinkel waar het onder andere mogelijk is om prachtige hernhuttersterren te kopen. Ook is er veel leerzaam speelgoed voor kinderen. Ik vond het zeer gastvrij dat koffie en thee bij het bezoek inbegrepen zat. De entreeprijs is slechts een paar euro; de prijs/kwaliteit verhoudig is uitstekend. Bedankt voor de informatieve middag!

  4. 4.5 Wandelroute Heidestein (12 reviews)
    - Wood-Dune-Heath
    Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails
    Wandelroute Heidestein image
    Heidestein is one of the natural landscape of "Het Utrechtse Landschap". Another area just next to Heidestein is Bornia. There are 2 walking routes in this woody area, The Red mark (4,5 km) is for Heidestein and the Blue mark ( 5,5 km) is for Bornia. The mark is easy to follow. We visited the sheep-fold area and we didn't see any sheeps. We didn't see birds either but hearing the woodpicker was busy knocking the trees. There is a visitor centre and also "beestenbos", a small wood with animals that you can find in this wood. It is a nature studies path. As we have a very hot and dry summer this year, the small lake has gone and the heath was bruin. Well it is a beautiful place to take a walk See more..

    Pop- & Cultuurpodium de Peppel image
    After such a long time didn't come to this place, I saw it's really changed. It's better organized and good sound, too. One didn't change is "the coin" for buying the drink. We came for the concert of Hackensaw Boys. See more..

  10. 4.0 De Oude Kerk uit 1843 (11 reviews)
    - Lucky find
    Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
    De Oude Kerk uit 1843 image
    Just walking around Zeist and found this church and went inside. It is claimed that a wall in the church is the oldest in the Netherlands but it was not clear to me whether it was the oldest wall or the oldest church wall. Either seems quite unlikely to me. Worth a visit which will take less than one hour. See more..
