Description

A high sand ridge with deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests. Prehistoric burial mounds on a vast heath. Grasslands with sand ditches. Green estates. The high Table Mountain and many meadows.'t Gooi has a wide variety of landscape types: the ponds along the edges of the area are filled with seepage water that flows down from the high sand ridge. The alternation of the woods and the heath creates a beautiful bocage landscape. And of course the residential areas are known to every Dutchman. The bike tour shows you a beautiful environment, but a number of sights are the highlights. How about a visit to the Dutch Fortress Museum, full of explosions, gunpowder fumes and cannons? Experience how the soldiers of the garrison have guarded the Amsterdam region against enemies from the east for centuries. Exciting are the dark casemates, where moisture drips from the stones and where you hear the wind howling through the listening holes. To complete your picture, you can also cycle to Fort Uitermeer. Located on the river Vecht, Fort Uitermeer is beautifully situated between forests and meadows. The fortress is part of the New Dutch Waterline. The tower fort is an important eye-catcher in the area and also offers beautiful views of the Naardermeer and the many country estates in the area. You will return to the brown eatery't Pandje after your bike ride. An extensive evening menu, atmospheric coziness and a good appetite after the tour will convince you to settle down here before you go home. On the terrace you can end the day with a tasty snack and well-deserved drink.
