Bunnik is a municipality and a village in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht. The recorded history of the village dates back nearly 2000 years, when the Romans constructed a castellum (fortress) at Fectio (now Vechten) with a harbour facing the river Rhine, which marked the border of the Roman Empire. The fortress developed into a thriving trading centre, which continued to exist after the Romans abandoned the fortress in the fourth century. Subsequently, the area was occupied by the Friesians and the Franks. In the 8th and 9th century the villages of Bunninchem (Bunnik), Lodichem (Odijk) en Wercundia (Werkhoven) developed.
Chief interests of Bunnik are its surrounding nature, consisting mainly of forests and farmlands. Additionally, Bunnik, hosts the oldest Youth Hostel in the Netherlands.
The municipality of Bunnik consists of the following cities, towns, villages and/or districts: Bunnik, Odijk, Werkhoven.
