Baarn: Royal Palaces and Heuvelrug Woodland
Baarn has about 24,580 inhabitants and lies in the province of Utrecht at the foot of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The town is closely connected to the Dutch royal family: Paleis Soestdijk lies partly within its borders, and Kasteel Groeneveld, an 18th-century estate now managed by Staatsbosbeheer, hosts exhibitions on nature and landscape. The wooded character of the Heuvelrug gives Baarn a green, spacious setting that attracted wealthy residents from the late 19th century onward.
The Baarnsche Bos and surrounding forests provide walking and cycling directly from the town centre. The Eemnesservaart canal marks the western boundary toward the flat Eemland polders. Baarn station sits on the Amsterdam-Amersfoort railway line, making commuting practical.
Amersfoort is about 10 kilometres east. Hilversum lies roughly 8 kilometres west. Soest borders to the north.
