Cycling in the Vecht region

More than 56 kilometres of cycling along gullies, canals, fens and other waterways: cycling through the Vechtstreek north of Woerden never gets boring. You cycle through the characteristic polder landscape.

Starting point: Kamerik
This cycle route starts at the most striking building in Kamerik, which is the church. It 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 on both sides of the river stretch nature reserves that were created by peat extraction. The horizon is far away in this landscape that stretches out before you. What a feeling of freedom!

Vinkeveense Lakes
During the route you cycle through Wilnis to Mijdrecht towards Vinkeveen. Vinkeveen is mainly known for the Vinkeveense Plassen. Here you can dive, but also sail and go boating. 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 by the extraction of peat. The current elongated islands are legakkers, which were used in the past as drying fields for the wet peat.
