Description
This bike tour takes you through the history of the New Dutch Waterline around Utrecht. But don't stay fort hopping for too long, as the tour also takes you straight through the city itself. Soon after departure you will pass Fort Voordorp, Fort Ruigenhoek and Fort de Gagel. The last in the list is Fort aan de Klop. This fort was built in 1629 as a fortification to resist attacks from the Spanish. The New Dutch Waterline has been part of the World Heritage List since 1995. You enter Utrecht again via the west side. Pay a visit to the Rietveld Schroder House here before arriving back at the starting point.
