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.

The BRUG, called the Cronenburgherbrug, built in the Business Expressionist style, is located on Bloklaan over the Vecht River. The bridge consists of three sections: a double steel bascule bridge between two fixed, basket-arched masonry openings. The red brickwork in vertical bond is covered with granite slabs. The basement piers of the bascule bridge section are clad with granite slabs. Atop the piers, on a rectangular granite pedestal, stands a tall, narrow glass and steel lantern bearing the factory mark of the Winkelman company from Amsterdam. The coat of arms of the province of Utrecht, consisting of two red lions with two white crosses, is mounted on the outside of these pedestals. The bascule bridge has tubular steel railings. Along the fixed bridge sections, tubular steel railings rest on a granite base. On three sides, the fence connects to a brick abutment, which ends in a brick bench with a granite seat, a round pillar-shaped top, and a perpendicular flower box. On the fourth side (northeast side), the abutment connects to the bridge keeper's house. Both bridge cellars contain riveted steel counterweights with electrically powered gears.

A beautiful route along the Vecht River. Be careful, though, as there's construction going on along the quays.

From this point, you have a wonderful view of the Vecht River and, in the distance, the Vreeland windmill. You can also sit along the Vecht for a while (difficult in many places).

Long path, good for cycling

After the tree, there is daily sales of thrift shops

Sometimes you forget how beautiful your own surroundings can be. Cycling or walking through this area is always a good reminder of that.
