Village route't Gooi

Deciduous and coniferous forests, mixed forests, heathland, grassland and unique remnants of narrows and meenten: 't Gooi has a quite unique, varied landscape. The Utrechtse Heuvelrug runs gently sloping like a sand ridge through the area, while mainly meadows flank the east and west sides. It is a sandy, but wooded region with many transitions between higher and lower areas, resulting in a great diversity of vegetation and animal species. Buildings are advancing and natural places such as the Naardermeer and the Goois Nature Reserve are receiving government protection. 't Gooi is a popular region where many beautiful villas are being built. These are spread over six places, none of which have a real center, but together they form a kind of park city. The starting point of the route is a parking lot in Huizen. You cycle through the new residential areas of Huizen to the edge of the city. A green, hilly landscape stretches out before you, gradually turning into flat meadows. The dike along the water-rich Noordpolder Te Veld runs in a straight line to Eemnes. There are several cozy farms on the right of this dike, while on the left you can see the Eem River in the distance. The route leads to the heart of the small town of Eemnes and when you continue cycling, you head towards the Gooise Heide. Beautiful, modern villas in the town of Laren stand out strongly against the cultural history indicated by the 18th century boundary posts along the cycle path. You arrive at the Zuiderheide while cycling around Blaricum. You cycle through the heath towards the north, where you see ancient burial mounds. The burial mounds are the final resting place of our ancestors who lived in this area about 4,000 years ago, during the Stone and Bronze Ages. You cycle through the built-up area of Blaricum, where many old farms still paint an attractive picture, back to Huizen. Near the parking lot, we recommend that you enjoy and rest your bike ride at restaurant De Haven van Huizen. With a beautiful view of the water, you can enjoy a delicious glass of wine and satisfy your hunger on one of the beautiful terraces on the water or in the sheltered garden. This cycling route is offered to you by RBT Gooi & Vecht. For all tourist information about the Gooi & Vecht region, see the official tourist information website of the region www.gooivecht.nl .
