The beautiful surroundings of Huizen

Around Huizen you can enjoy cycling over the heath and through the polders of the Gelderse Vallei. This route also takes you across Flevoland.

Hulkesteinse Bos
You drive from Huizen to Flevoland via the Stichtse Brug. It remains a crazy idea to cycle in an area where less than a century ago the Zuiderzee waved and raged. You have beautiful views over the Eemmeer, on the other side is Spakenburg. In the Hulkesteinse Bos you will see rich and varied vegetation. It is nice and quiet and fresh here, a real pleasure to cycle through.

Arkemheenpolder
Just past the Arkersluis you pass the eighteenth-century Sluishuis. From the Zeedijk you look out over the Nijkerkernauw, on the left you see the fourteenth-century Arkemheenpolder, one of the oldest in the Netherlands. You cycle through the polders to the Tafelberg heath. At junction 80 you are almost at the highest point in the Gooi: the 36 meter high sand ridge called Table Mountain!
