Description
Would you like to go on a bike ride through nature, but do you also like an urban environment? Then this bike route in the vicinity of Utrecht is the right place for you. You cycle through both the center of Utrecht and through nature reserves between Utrecht and Hilversum.
From Utrecht towards Hilversum
From the centre of Utrecht you cycle in the direction of Maarssen. On the way you will pass Molen Rijn en Zon. This corn mill was built in 1913 in Utrecht. The mill has been completely restored, a real gem to see. From Maarssen you cycle along the Maarsseveense Plassen and the Loosdrechtse Plassen in the direction of Hilversum. The nature reserve the Loosdrechtse Plassen is very popular among water sports enthusiasts, but you can also cycle there in peace. This area has been designated as a special protection zone for birds. So it should not be a problem to spot birds here.
Persijn Estate
On this route you will pass Landgoed Persijn, just outside the village of Maartensdijk. This estate dates from 1781. Originally, this estate was laid out in the early landscape style, but in the 19th century a large part of the estate was renovated. At that time, tree-lined avenues were laid out and exotic plants were planted. Nowadays, an orthopedagogical centre is located on the estate.
