Along the Nieuwkoopse Plassen and through Kockengen

Via Zevenhoven and Noordeinde you cycle to De Hoef, a village on the Kromme Mijdrecht. Here you will see, among other things, the monumental Pondskoekersluis and the Antonius van Padua, a beautiful church from 1921. Cycling along the path along the meandering river you look out over old farms and polders that have subsided due to centuries of subsidence. Further on you cycle through Spengen and the characteristic cope landscape with its narrow and elongated plots. Kockengen enjoys a protected village view. Abrona Kunst & Koffie is located in an old church. Enjoy a delicious lunch here, before cycling to the Kockengense Molen, a polder mill from 1675. Finally you cycle along the winding Meije and the Nieuwkoopse Plassen, one of the last extensive lowland peat areas in the Netherlands.
