Cycling through the Netherlands as a history book

After a cup of coffee at Carlton President Hotel you get on your bike. You can't go on with this beautiful varied route. The Oude Rijn and the Vecht, Kasteel de Haar and Haarzuilens with its protected village view, a vast polder complete with an ancient mill: you will encounter it all today! You cycle straight through the polder to the Oude Rijn. Did you know that this river once formed the northern border of the Roman Empire? You also drive into the vast polder to Kockengen and the seventeenth-century Kockengse mill. Then it's time for Kasteel de Haar, the largest castle in the Netherlands. A medieval ruin served as the basis for the current castle in 1892. The castle and gardens are well worth a visit!
