Description
Historic Zwammerdam and Bodegraven
The tour starts in the direction of Zwammerdam. Zwammerdam is located in the middle of the area where the Limes (northern border of the Roman Empire) and the Old Dutch Water Line meet. The historic center is nice to stroll around. The next'stop\\\' is Bodegraven, where a piece of history awaits you: Fort Wierickerschans. This defense work (1673) is located on the south bank of the Oude Rijn and was also part of the Old Dutch Waterline. The site is freely accessible from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 16:00.
The capital of the Green Heart
Your bike ride continues towards Woerden, the so-called'capital\\\' of the Green Heart of Holland. It is an excellent starting point for cycling, walking or boating trips. Woerden has a harbor in the middle of the cozy city center and there are plenty of nice places to have lunch or dinner.
The Meije
You cycle back along the beautiful Meije, a (ribbon) village between Zwammerdam/ Bodegraven, Zegveld, Woerdense Verlaat and Nieuwkoop. This is still one of my favorite areas! You will find various cozy gardens, terraces and shops with regional products from the Groene Hart. Stop for a nice cool drink at Café De Halve Maan. What an apt saying they have written on the wall:"A thirsty man, tired of'going, quenches his thirst at the Crescent\\\".
