Description

On the cycle route you will come across the first fort after about 3 kilometers: Fort Voordorp. This beautifully restored fort is part of the New Dutch Waterline. Other sights you will encounter along the way include Geesina Mill, Fort Ruigenhoek, Fort de Gagel and the Trouwe Waghter mill. You ultimately end your tour at Van der Valk Hotel De Bilt - Utrecht. Here you can relax after an active day on the bike. You can also visit the restaurant for a delicious, relaxing dinner or a drink. You deserve it after your trip! At the start of the route you cycle through the recreational area at the Maarsseveense Plassen. These lakes were created by sand extraction that was necessary for the construction of the Utrecht Overvecht district in the 1960s. Many water sports are practiced in the area.
