Tour of Schoonhoven and Noordeloos

Along the Lek you cycle through a typical Dutch landscape of wide views, high skies and lots of water. You will also discover beautiful old towns such as Schoonhoven and Noordeloos. From Huis Het Bosch you drive over a car-free road through the polder. Along the road you see ditches, pollard willows and monumental old farms. What is immediately noticeable: the silence in this area! You come through the picturesque Noordeloos, further on you come through Nieuwkerk. Here you cross the Lek with a ferry, wonderfully nostalgic! The old centre of Zilverstad Schoonhoven is a picture. Note the Veerpoort from 1601! It is beautiful to cycle over the Lekdijk. You look out over the rippling river and grassy floodplains, on the other side are beautiful farms, meadows and orchards.
