Cycling in the Vecht region

Cycling more than 56 kilometers along channels, canals, fens and other waterways: cycling through the Vecht region north of Woerden is never boring. You cycle through the characteristic polder landscape.

Starting point: Kamerik
This cycling route starts at the most striking building in Kamerik and that is the church. This was built around 1855.

The Vecht region
Cycling through the Vecht region is wonderful. The Vecht region is known for the presence of many estates, castles and country houses, but also for its beautiful nature. A short distance away on either side of the river are nature reserves that were created by the peat extraction. The horizon is far away in this landscape that stretches before you. What a feeling of freedom!

Vinkeveense Plassen
During the route you cycle through Wilnis to Mijdrecht towards Vinkeveen. Vinkeveen is mainly known for the Vinkeveense Plassen. There is diving here, but also sailing and sailing. But it is also a beautiful area for cycling and walking. This water-rich peat meadow area has a typical Dutch character with characteristic, elongated plots. The Vinkeveense Plassen were created from the Golden Age through the extraction of peat. The current elongated islands are farmlands, which were previously used as drying fields for wet peat.
