Tour of Alblasserwaard and Kinderdijkse Mills

From Eetcafé het Puntje you cycle to the port of Dordrecht. You cross the water to Papendrecht, after which you drive a bit through Alblasserdam. Further on you will pass the famous Kinderdijk Windmills. This unique Dutch heritage of eighteenth-century mills is on the World Heritage List. The cycle path leads you further through the Alblasserwaard. This peat meadow area consists mainly of meadows crossed by numerous ditches. It is wonderfully quiet cycling here. On the water you cycle through villages such as Molenaarsgraaf, Gijpeland and Bleskensgraaf. Here you will see beautiful old farms, mills and churches. At junction 40 you pass through the Alblasserbos, a rarity in this vast region. You cross the Beneden-Merwede via the Baanhoek Bridge, completed in 1885, after which you cycle back to the Eerste Jachthaven along the Wantij.
