Along the Vecht River near Weesp stand two historic windmills: De Vriendschap Windmill and d’Eendragt Windmill. De Vriendschap was built in 1900 after an earlier windmill was destroyed by lightning and still grinds grain. d’Eendragt is older and has served various purposes over the centuries, including being a corn mill, a shell mill, and a sawmill. These windmills are a reminder of the time when Weesp was a center for beer breweries and gin distilleries that required large quantities of ground grain. Of the dozens of windmills that once stood here, these two are the most famous remnants. The windmill on the right is De Vriendschap Windmill, where you can often buy flour and baking mixes in the windmill shop on Saturdays.

A beautiful dike-like cycle path through a strip of nature—you wouldn't expect this in the Flevopolder, where most cycle paths run straight ahead. You'll have to zigzag between cowpats, though.

Great quiet road, nice asphalt but quite a bit of turns

lovely trip, Holland at it's best in summer weather!

Beautiful winding cycle paths through the nature reserve of the Great Bustard. Along the way, cows keep you company and you can count the windmills. Tip: the best thing is to have the wind in your back here, to meander along the paths.

Nice tea garden in a beautiful place, ideal to get off during your bike ride. You can sit outside in the garden, but also inside it is cozy and light. Nice stop for a cup of tea or something tasty.

If you love long, straight stretches where you can really push the pace, the Eemmeerdijk is a must-ride. A top piece of tarmac for dedicated cyclists who aren’t afraid of a bit of wind. It’s the perfect place to put your watts to the test – ideal for time trial training or when you just want to hammer away without distractions. The surface is smooth and well-paved, with few cracks or potholes, and generally not too busy.
