Jan Blanken cycle route

6 hours (76 km)

The Jan Blankenroute is an extensive cycle route through the area where the water works of engineer Jan Blanken (1755 - 1838) define the landscape. A wonderful cycle route suitable for e-bikes to get to know the New Dutch Waterline, the largest national monument in the Netherlands, and the very latest part of Utrecht. You cycle along the centuries-old Diefdijk and past uniquely located forts, through historic fortified towns and polders with beautiful views.

It is a long cycle route, but along the way there are plenty of opportunities to recharge yourself and your electric bike or stay overnight. Still prefer a shorter route? Then switch to the waterworks route at junction 40.
