Description

What could be more fun than cycling along the water? This route takes you along both banks of the Lek near Utrecht. Enjoy the green nature, the beautiful view over the river and the nice places you cycle through during this tour.

The Pancake Vault
Lopik is the starting point of this route. Park your car here and quickly jump on your bike to explore the route. The first part of the route takes you along the Lek to the edge of Nieuwegein. Here you cross the river to Vianen with a foot-bike ferry. Check the sailing times of this ferry in advance, so that you don't end up standing on the bank for nothing. Fancy an ice cream from all that cycling?

Boat trips on the Lek

From Vianen you cycle past meadows and agricultural areas to Meerkerk. On the way you pass the Hoekmolen and Molen De Bonk. Then you cycle further to Ameide to cross the Lek again to Lopik. Here you also use a foot ferry to bridge the water.

Admire mills from your bike
The Hoekmolen is a hollow post mill that was built to drain the polder that lies here. It is unknown when exactly the mill was built, but it is in any case a very old mill. The mill was used until 1945. After that, a diesel pumping station took over the function of the mill. Molen De Bonk was also a polder mill that came to a standstill after 1945.
