From Amsterdam South to Vinkeveen

A day of cycling through nature from Amsterdam? From Amsterdam-Zuid you can easily cycle into the Amsterdamse Bos and the polders around Vinkeveen. Here you will find peace, space and beautiful old buildings.

Amsterdam Forest
From the parking lot near the RAI harbor, you first drive a bit through the beautiful Apollobuurt. Here you see many houses that were built around 1920 in the style of the Amsterdam School. Further on you drive through the Amsterdamse Bos. The beautiful water features, bridges and narrow winding paths have created a special forest here where it is nice to cycle. A little later you drive into the polder. What a vastness suddenly!

Amstel
Along the Amstel and Waver it is nice and quiet cycling over the dike. Over the Baambrugse Zuwe you cycle through the Vinkeveense Plassen. This street is also called the Millionaire Mile because of the many villas. In Baambrugge you see many monumental buildings. Via the picturesque Ouderkerk aan de Amstel you cycle along the Amstel back to Amsterdam.
