Quick ride by bicycle from Soest to Hilversum

Cruise from Soest to Hilversum for a relaxed ride through the heart of Utrecht’s greenbelt! Starting in Soest, a town famous for the beautiful Soestduinen sand dunes and its leafy residential areas, you’ll roll almost 15 km north-west, sticking mostly to smooth cycleways (yay for Dutch infrastructure!). The route is practically flat, with just tiny ups and downs, especially as you pass through the wooded zones and open fields that separate Soest from the lively media city of Hilversum.

Expect to be on paved or asphalt surfaces most of the way, and the roads are super bike-friendly—peaceful, safe, and designed for cyclists. Hilversum, your endpoint, is known as the media capital of the Netherlands, home to lots of cool architecture and green parks. It’s a perfect spot to grab a coffee or explore some stylish 20th-century buildings when you arrive. All in all, this is a gentle, classic Dutch cycling route—ideal for an easy day out!
