Around the corner is a playground/soccer field for children. Bunnik is located on the Kromme Rijn river, which flows into the famous canal belt of the city of Utrecht. A short distance from Bunnik there are options for renting canoes both upstream and downstream. Along the river, between Bunnik and Utrecht, the green areas of Rhijnauwen and Amelisweerd are located next to each other. In Rhijnauwen you can visit a fort, some remains (mainly bunkers) from the Second World War, a pancake bakery with a large garden and playground and a youth hostel with a café.
