Wageningen is a city, but nature is always close by. From the city centre, with its atmospheric Torckpark, you can easily walk to the beautiful botanical gardens with unique views. But even when you leave the city, you immediately fall head over heels. You can really go in all directions: through the woods and moraines of the Veluwe and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, along the river Rhine with its rugged floodplains or to the Betuwe for a blossom tour.
