Welcome to the Green Heart of Holland

Expansive meadows, peat bogs, lovely ponds, lakes and rivers, historic villages and cities, forts and farmsteads. That is the Green Heart of Holland! The Green Heart is the green oasis surrounded by the cities collectively known as the Randsteden in the central-western Netherlands. In addition to the green landscape, the Green Heart has much more to offer, from active excursions to relaxing and unique attractions. Stroll through the historic fortified town of Woerden, visit the country's wedding capital Montfoort or experience Oudewater, the picturesque and oldest town in the Green Heart. Meet up in IJsselstein and have a glimpse of what the Middle Ages were like. A wonderful region for a day trip, a weekend getaway or a full holiday.
