Utrechtse Heuvelrug, forest near Castle Drakesteyn – The Netherlands

Castle Drakesteyn.

Before Willem-Alexander became King of the Netherlands his mother was our Queen. Her name is Beatrix. She still lives near Soesterberg, a few miles west of Palace Soestdijk where her parents used to live. The estate Beatrix lives in is called Castle Drakesteyn. There is a big metal fence around it and there is a lot of security. Lucky for us you can actually walk in the woods surounding it.
