South Utrecht Waterline cycle route

(44 km)

In the mood to escape the hectic pace of the city and explore a unique bit of Dutch history? In that case, hop on your bike and follow this route to explore the New Dutch Waterline. Discover the multifaceted nature of the Waterline through a variety of waterline highlights. One thing you definitely won't want to miss is Fort Vechten, with its interactive Waterline Museum. You’ll also pass the Plofsluis lock and cycle across the Island of Schalkwijk. Nowhere else has the Waterline landscape been so well preserved as here, with the many forts, canals and the ‘Gedekte Gemeenschapsweg’ (a historic military road protected by an earth wall).
