After a cup of coffee at Carlton President Hotel you get on your bike. In the vicinity of Maarssen you can enjoy nature along the meandering Vecht and the vast Loosdrechtse Plassen. You will be amazed at the many monumental buildings in picturesque towns such as Maarssen. At the Loosdrechtse Plassen you drive through a picturesque landscape where different bodies of water are separated by dikes and islands. You have beautiful views here, so step off to enjoy the surroundings. In Oud-Loosdrecht you can still see many monumental farms and houses from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on the dike. A little later you drive past Fort Spion, the fortification from 1847 that was part of the New Dutch Waterline.

Sights
Ridderhofstad Gunterstein
Ridderhofstad Gunterstein was built in 1680 on the ruins of a medieval castle from 1300 that was demolished in 1511 to use the stones for something else. At the same time as construction, a park was created next to the house, which was partly turned into an English landscape park in the 19th century. The entire site is no less than 115 hectares. Walk on the winding paths between ancient trees and enjoy the view of the house via the Lange Lindelaan.
Vechtzigt
Vechtzigt is a beautiful country house dating from 1809. This small country estate probably originated from a farm. Over the centuries, the house has become bigger and bigger.
