Heidestein Tea House

Highlight • Structure

This cute wooden tea house, built in 1912 in the chalet style, is a real historical gem and is part of the beautiful historic estate. From the house you have a breathtaking view of the surroundings, because it is high above the pond. In the past, the stone part under the house was used as an ice cellar and water storage. The teahouse was recently lovingly restored by Utrechts Landschap, retaining the original details, such as the beautiful wooden sash windows and the spiral staircase to the ice cellar. And now you can book it for a wonderful holiday!

You shouldn't be afraid of heights. When it is quiet you can see and hear many birds here by the water and in the bushes.

Swiss Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

What a beautiful bridge is here. The Swiss Bridge is a rustic structure and is located in a
landscaped part of the forest with the forest meadow and the well ponds de Grote and de Kleine Kom. The hilly and wooded area of Driebergen with its pure air evoked associations with Switzerland in the 20th century. This led to buildings in the Swiss style.
