The Loosdrechtse Plassen and the Vecht

The Loosdrechtse Plassen are a picture, but there is so much more to be found here. Immediately take in the river Vecht and Fort Kijkuit, part of the New Dutch Waterline.

Loosdrecht Lakes
At the Loosdrechtse Plassen you drive through a picturesque landscape where different bodies of water are separated by dikes and islands. Here you can enjoy beautiful views everywhere. In Oud-Loosdrecht you can still see many monumental farms and houses from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on the dike.

Fort Tienhoven
On the way you pass Fort Tienhoven. It was part of the New Dutch Waterline, intended to protect Utrecht. The information point is worthwhile, here you will also find information about cycling routes through the area. Please note the opening times, which can be found on the website of Natuurmonumenten. There are several benches on the site, an ideal place for a picnic.
