From De Meern you can easily cycle into the rural area around Utrecht. Here you drive through a typical landscape of rectangular meadows and ditches. In Montfoort you can take a look at the outer bailey of what was once a large castle. Further on you cycle into Woerden. Woerden Castle is located on the Defense Island, a peninsula in the canal. The fortress originally dates from 1415. You drive back into the polders along the Oude Rijn. What a wonderfully peaceful cycling experience here! You drive to Breukelen via Kockengen. You will see some beautiful buildings on the Vecht. Kasteel de Haar is the highlight of this route: it is the largest castle in the Netherlands. After disembarking, enjoy a meal at Brazzerie Abrona.

Sights
Montfoort
Independently fortified building from the Middle Ages that was easily defended at that time and in the past was mostly inhabited by the noble families of the Netherlands
Kasteel Woerden
The most impressive monument in Woerden. Kings, dukes, maids and warlords consulted, feasted, dined and slept here
Ridderhofstad Gunterstein
Ridderhofstad Gunterstein was built in 1680 on the ruins of a medieval castle from 1300 that was demolished in 1511 to use the stones for something else. At the same time as construction, a park was created next to the house, which was partly turned into an English landscape park in the 19th century. The entire site is no less than 115 hectares. Walk on the winding paths between ancient trees and enjoy the view of the house via the Lange Lindelaan.
Oudaen
Oudaen is a former knight court town on the river Vecht. The house probably dates from the 13th century and it was probably founded by the Van Loendersloot family.
