The first tour starts in the municipality of Woerden, which is almost 120 km long. Here, architectural gems dating back centuries can be discovered when passing certain settlements such as Kasteel de Haar and Breukelen, not to mention the Vecht River. Not only is it an opportunity to admire imposing old castles, but nature is also very well highlighted with the many marshy lakes.
The polder route is a must for those who want to embark on a smaller circuit. Indeed, this 39-km course will allow them to discover the beautiful province of Flevoland. The landscapes are almost enchanting, especially when they pass by the Soestdikj Palace or the Groeneveld Castle. Of course, all this is found in a beautiful setting with pastures and streams.
To explore North Holland, a route of about 70 km will allow travelers to marvel near Lake Markermeer. But that's not all; the tour will enable them to pass by various localities, including Medemblik, Enkhuizen and Schellinkhout, revealing historic dikes, pumping stations and mills. By the way, there is an open-air museum in Enkhuizen that provides a lot of information about the life of the Dutch in the Zuidersee region.
The Noardlike Fryske Wâlden circuit is simply impressive. There are 11 crossroads in towns such as Kollum, Buitenpost, Oudega or Eastermar, among many others, which are perfect for learning more about the site. Here, agriculture and the marshy landscape are strongly emphasized. In addition, several attractions are worth a visit, including the Fogelsangh State Mansion and its landscape park and the De Kruidhof Botanical Garden in Buitenpost.
The Waterland circuit is undoubtedly one of the most impressive in the Netherlands. The adventure begins north of the metropolis and offers incredible discovery by crossing pretty villages, canals or agricultural areas around it. ◄
