This route takes you from the cozy Café Op de Hoek in Kudelstaart through wetlands in the area of Uithoorn. You cycle through quiet nature reserves and past beautiful sights with a long history. You will also get to know several small towns in this area such as Nieuwveen, Uithoorn and Mijdrecht. The Nieuwkoop lakes are part of a nature reserve of 1400 hectares that was created in the 16th century by peat. Along the way you will pass the Fort near Kudelstaart, a fort that was built between 1905 and 1906 as part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The route also leads past the Fort near Uithoorn, another fort that is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. It was built in 1911.

After Kudelstaart was without a cafe between 1982 and 2016, Cafe Op de Hoek finally opened its doors. At the crossroads of the Kudelstaartseweg, the Robend and the Bilderdammerweg you can meet the locals after a walk or bike ride. Dorpscafé Op de Hoek stands for a relaxed environment, where it is all about conviviality and accessibility. A nice starting point at the Westeinderplassen near Aalsmeer. The cafe is located almost on the border of North and South Holland, so you can go in all directions!

Behind dikes, at the edge of waterways and often at the end of farm roads, under small grassy hills, another world is hidden. A green world of white walls, steel doors and bats. The fort on this site was built between 1905 and 1906 as part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam.
