Woerden station - Oudewater

Vecht and lakes - Beyond Muiden and the Naardermeer, the Floris V-path leads along the meandering Vecht with its beautiful country houses and along the Ankeveense, Kortenhoefse and Loosdrechtse Plassen. Via old church paths, the walker traverses an area of reed beds, ponds, swamp forests, grasslands and swampy peat bogs. The lakes were created in the 17th century by the excavation of peat. Now it is a valuable nature reserve where walkers and cyclists can fully enjoy themselves. Green Heart - The Floris V-path leads right through the Green Heart after the Gooi. It used to be an impenetrable peat landscape. There are still open areas in the Groene Hart, but most will mainly associate the Randstad with advancing urbanization and infrastructure. All the more surprising are the pieces of greenery, the vast puddles and the meandering rivers that the walker encounters.
