Old towns in the South Holland river delta

In the South Holland river delta you cycle along various waterways. You pass through several old ports, such as in Dordrecht and Rotterdam. That will be a day of enjoying the many sights.

Waterbus Here you can see, among other things, the fifteenth-century Grote Kerk. Because the tower soon turned out to be crooked, no spire was built on it. With a waterbus you cross the Oude Maas and drive over the dike to the harbor of Alblasserdam. Then you cross the Nieuwe Maas and follow the course of this river to Rotterdam.

Maastoren In Rotterdam, old and new architecture go hand in hand. In the city centre you can see the Oude Haven, the famous Cube Houses and the new Markthal. On the Kop van Zuid is the Maastoren, currently the tallest building in the Netherlands at 165 metres. Further on you drive along the natural banks of the Oude Maas and cross the river to the harbour of Puttershoek. Just outside the village is De Lelie, a corn mill from 1836.
