Amerongen
Netherlands
This compact Utrecht town sits where the flat water meadows of the Nederrijn give way to the Utrecht Hill Ridge, with Kasteel Amerongen castle standing in the riverside floodplains and the highest point in the western Netherlands just east of the centre. The historic core holds a concentration of listed buildings alongside cafés and restaurants, and the surrounding ridge terrain offers scenic viewpoints across the landscape.
