Kromme Rijn and Utrechtse Heuvelrug regions

Utrecht, The Netherlands

Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park in the Netherlands features 10,000 ha of heathlands, grasslands and floodplains, and is the second largest forest area in the country, featuring oak and beech trees and over 100 bird species.

The Utrechtse Heuvelrug and Kromme Rijn region is a multifunctional landscape under pressure from many competing claims and conflicting functions. Joint planning and decision-making will help to develop a landscape that keeps providing important functions valued by current and future generations.
