Cycling route Dutch polders and Westeinderplassen

In the polders around Lisse you can enjoy the peace and views. You start your tour in Aalsmeer, where you will see some beautiful monumental farms on the Uiterweg. From the dike you look out over the Westereinderplassen, or the Poel as the Aalsmeer people call it. Driving along the Ringvaart you will see the Googermolen. This polder mill from 1717 is the largest round stone ground sailor in the Netherlands. Just before junction 25 you will find Gemaal De Leeghwater from 1845, further on you will pass the Lisserpoelmolen from 1676. On the edge of Lisse you can enjoy a break on the cozy terrace of Restaurant Hanami Lisse. Just past Cruquius you drive through the Groene Weelde nature reserve and the Haarlemmermeerbos, after which you drive through leafy Hoofddorp back to the parking lot.
