The New Dutch Waterline
Hotel Restaurant Het Rechthuis in Muiderberg is the starting point of this route. From here you can reach the fortified city of Muiden in no time. In this historic city you will find various buildings of the New Dutch Waterline such as the Muizenfort and the famous Muiderslot. This historic defense line with all kinds of forts was constructed in 1815 to better protect the country in time of war. You will also cycle across the impressive sea lock of Muiden, where beautiful ships regularly enter. From here you set course in the direction of Diemen and then cycle further to Monnickendam and Volendam through the polders.
Resting in Purmerend
Then it is just a short cycle through Edam and on to the end point in Purmerend.
The Katwoudermolen
Just outside Volendam you can take a look at the Katwoudermolen. This mill drains the surrounding polders and meadows. The mill was built here around 1649 and put into use around 1650. The mill was restored in 1986 and a new roof with blades was installed.
