Walk Ankeveense Plassen

This watery walking route starts at Fort Uitmeer, a fortress that is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. A fortification was built here in 1589, which was strengthened into a fortress in later centuries. You walk into the polder and in a number of places you will pass former bunkers from the Second World War. You will also pass the Hollandia, a polder mill dating from 1640. In Ankeveen you can see the eighteenth-century Rechthuis and Tolhuis at the Stichts End. At Restaurant 1244 you can enjoy a delicious lunch on the cozy terrace, after which the route takes you along a former church path through the Ankeveense Plassen. At junction 88 you arrive at De Googh, an old hamlet. Finally, you walk along the Stichtse Vecht back to the starting point.
