Icon description route Description

Departing from Vinkeveen, Venice on a large scale, with canals around the houses where you can kayak, I find myself among the Vinkeveense Plassen.

The next village, after crossing the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, is Nigtevecht, situated on the river Vecht. A very cozy village, with information boards about the local history.

I then cycle along the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal to the IJmeer, which looks more like a sea than a lake. I also pass through Muiden, a very beautiful fortified town and its magnificent Muiderslot castle!

Then I head further inland again, but I am still not spared from water. I cycle along the Naardermeer and the Ankeveense Plassen, where I can see the media tower of Hilversum in the distance. I then continue through the northwestern forests of Hilversum to finally, yes, ride along the Kortenhoefse and Loenderveense Plassen back to Vinkeveen.

A very beautiful region with a lot of water!
