Description
In the Krimpenerwaard you can enjoy cycling through the polders and along the water. This route takes you along the Lek and along the IJssel. Along the way you can enjoy the peaceful landscape and the various charming towns you pass through.
The windmills of Kinderdijk
The first part of the route runs along the banks of the Lek. You set course for Krimpen aan den IJssel through Nieuw-Lekkerland and Kinderdijk. Along the way you will pass several windmills in Kinderdijk. In total, you will find no fewer than nineteen polder mills within a short distance of each other at Kinderdijk, so take plenty of time to take a look if you like mills. From Krimpen aan den IJssel you continue along the IJssel in the direction of Gouda. You cycle past the Reinier Blok pumping station, among other things. This pumping station was built in 1868 to pump water from the polders to the IJssel.
The last part
The last part takes you through the polders to Berkenwoude and Bergambacht. You ultimately end your tour at the edge of the Lek. Ready for a snack and a drink? Then settle down a little before the end point at Onder de Molen.
A historic duck decoy
You have found duck decoys in the Krimpenerwaard for centuries. The Nooitgedacht duck decoy is one of the remaining duck decoys. In the past, the ducks were caught here for consumption, but now the ducks are collected here to provide them with a ring for scientific research and then released again.
