The Vecht, one of the most idyllic rivers in the Netherlands

The Vechtstreek, or Vecht region, owes its name to the Vecht River, one of the most idyllic rivers in the Netherlands, famous for the many 17th and 18th century country estates along the banks. The area offers an abundance of culture, history, scenic beauty and recreation, combined with a wide range of shops, inviting eateries and one-of-a-kind places to spend the night. In other words, it is perfect for a memorable bike ride or cruise, a day of shopping, a visit to a castle, museum or windmill, a walk around one of the picturesque villages or a day on the shores of the lakes. There is something for everyone, in every season!
