Amersfoort outdoor edition: the most beautiful hiking and cycling routes

Anyone who thinks that Amersfoort is all about coziness, terraces, and that one street where you always end up buying a little too much... has not yet seen what happens when you walk or cycle out of the city. Amersfoort actually has a kind of superpower: within a few minutes, the setting changes from medieval streets to forests, heathlands, meadows, and clog paths that make you feel like you've accidentally ended up in a nature documentary. And the best part? Before you know it, you're back in the city center with a cappuccino in your hand as if there were never 12 kilometers in between.
