tour Woerden - De Haar Castle via Woerdense Verlaat

This beautiful cycle route leads you through water-rich polders and an extensive peat meadow area, but also along medieval watercourses that lie between small, characteristic villages in the Vecht region. A beautiful sight on this route is De Haar Castle. The building used to be known as Het Huys te Haer. The rudiments of this castle were probably built in the 12th century. As you would expect, the castle has suffered a lot from wars and battles. From 1892 onwards, the castle was rebuilt on the remains of the old fortress. The castle overlooks a beautiful extensive English landscape park and there is always something to do.
