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.

Always nice to see when you cycle past there.

Beautiful and quiet area. Excellent concrete bike path.

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

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.

Recently new asphalt. So new that it was actually still closed and I had to sprint via the verge against an excavator that was ploughing the aforementioned verge.

From the Zeewolde side you have a beautiful view over the vast Wolderwijd, one of the peripheral lakes that surround Flevoland. The wide water surface, bordered by reed beds, attracts countless water birds and offers a peaceful, expansive view. Follow the cycle paths along the banks for a ride with a view of the water, or stop at one of the beaches to enjoy nature for a while.
