Cycling from Boskoop through the Green Heart

On this cycle route you have beautiful views of the Green Heart of the Netherlands from many dikes. Part of the tour you cycle through the Utrechtse Waarden, a characteristic landscape of orchards, windbreaks, ditches and extensive polders. There are characteristic old farms along the dikes. The route starts in Boskoop. From here you cycle via Woerden to Driebruggen. Get off here at the seventeenth-century Oukoopse Molen. The last part runs over the beautiful Reeuwijkse Plassen. In the rectangular shape of the lakes you can see how the former peatlands were parceled out at the time. The peat was used, among others, by potteries and beer brewers in Gouda. Once back in Boskoop, you can enjoy a snack and a drink on the terrace at the cozy café Roos food & drinks. Time to relax!
