Along the Vecht you cycle past rippling water, grassy meadows and old farms. You pass two nineteenth-century polder mills: the Garstenmolen and Hoekermolen. You will also pass De Nes: a meander in the Vecht the size of a small lake. There used to be an island here on which a country estate was located from 1687 to 1827. In the course of the twentieth century, the island disappeared due to sand extraction. Just before Vreeland you pass the Ruitermolen, a flour mill from 1910. You then cycle along the part of the Vecht that is rich in country estates. In Breukelen you cross the river and drive to Kockengen for a pit stop at Abrona Kunst & Koffie. You continue cycling through the peat landscape to two picturesque towns: Loenersloot and Baambrugge.

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were not only used to produce flour from cereals, but also for draining polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!
