This special restaurant is located on the Vecht with a great view of Torenfort Uitermeer. Special because of the location, but especially because of the homemade apple pie! An ideal stop on the way for a walk, bicycle or boat trip.

Fort Uitermeer, located near the Naardermeer on Vecht, has been restored by the Province of North Holland and made visible again from the road and the Vecht. It's just as inspiring as when Jac. P. Thijsse rowed past it in 1915. The province has also had a new plan developed by the Foundation "Obviously Uitermeer" to make the Fort attractive for the interested Eco-tourist. Fort Uitermeer is also an ideal location to start your bike or walking tour here. We have set out various routes for cyclists and walkers.
