    After visiting Castle De Haar, we will visit a few more castles in the region of Baarn. These include Drakensteyn, De Hooge Vuursche, Palace Soesdijk, and Castle Groeneveld. Since these castles are under renovation or only allow special visitors, we will see them from the outside. It is possible to visit the gardens, and the surroundings and take pictures of some of these castles. Castle Groeneveld is open on certain days for visitors. Depending upon the time available, we will visit Muiderslot castle, which dates back to the 13th century.
