The Krimpenerwaard and Gouda

In the Krimpenerwaard you cycle through a characteristic Dutch landscape of wide polders, vistas and mills. Along the way you come across plenty of cultural history in villages and the beautiful town of Gouda.

Loetbos
You follow the winding river downstream to the west. From the dike you have a beautiful view over the rippling water and the many boats, on the other side you see meadows, pollard willows and old farms. Via Lekkerkerk you drive back into the polders. You come through the Loetbos, a nature reserve that takes its name from the river De Loet.

St. John's Church
You pass the Schuurkerk Berkenwoude which is located next to the Reformed Church. Along the Hollandse IJssel you drive to Gouda which is known for its historical city center. And not without reason, what beautiful buildings you see here! You can admire the medieval Sint Janskerk and the beautiful fifteenth century city hall. Just outside Gouda you drive along the Reeuwijkse Plassen, a unique nature reserve.
