Enjoying peace in the Utrecht polder

Between Wilnis and Woerden you will find a striking natural and peaceful landscape that is rich in cultural history. A wonderful area to pick up your cycling heart.

Kockengen Mill
In this relatively sparsely populated region you drive over dikes through an open peat meadow area with countless ditches and canals. The associated mills are not missing. You can see, among other things, the Kockengense Mill from 1675. Until the 1960s, it drained the Kockengense polder, whose characteristic narrow plots date back to the thirteenth century. A little later you will pass the Veenmolen, a flour mill from 1823.

Woerdense Leave
Buurtschap Woerdense Verlaat was built near the lock in the Grecht, which was built in 1448. Zegveld was not opened up until the 1960s through the construction of roads. Cycling through the village you can still experience the authentic atmosphere of the past.

Castle the hair
Enough time for a trip? Then visit De Haar Castle, the largest castle in the Netherlands. The castle originally dates from the fourteenth century, the current castle was rebuilt in 1892 in neo-Gothic style.
