in the Stichtse Lustwarande Zeist.

Here you can also read stories about events in my village, but also outside of it.

About us
During my walks in Zeist with Siena and Giulia, our “Bracco Italiano” hunting dogs, we come across the most beautiful country estates and country houses.

The Stichtse Lustwarande stretches from De Bilt to Rhenen and was in earlier times a refuge for rich merchants and bankers, who fled their polluted houses and cities in the summer and exchanged them for fresh air.

Every walk I tell, illustrated with many photos that can be found in the photo gallery, something about the history of these places in Zeist, but also personal stories and what I have experienced.

My stories and those of other Zeist columnists can also be read on www.zeistermagazine.nl

Zeist is so beautiful and how lucky we are to live here.

He who does not read, does not know.
