발렌그라흐트 최고의 라이딩 경로

A beautiful, small, and above all quiet place. I had a few beads of sweat on my forehead before every bridge. Some of them seem to be a bit dated. And were they expecting heavily laden e-bike tourists back then? I don't know :) But it all held up.

The De Rietvink windmill, built in 1855 on the Grote Veenpolder, was fitted with an American windmill in 1921 to keep the area dry. After being decommissioned in 1964, it became a holiday home. Around 2005, the windmill fell into disrepair, but new owners began a thorough restoration in 2008 with the help of millwrights and volunteers. In 2010, De Rietvink turned again for the first time in 16 years and has been in regular operation ever since. Next to the windmill is a charming tea garden with a terrace for a refreshing drink in the sun!

This is a beautiful old town full of characteristic houses and canals. Vollenhove has been mentioned since 944.

Beautiful surroundings. Of course lots of water, bridges and greenery. And the peace that emanates from this region is great.

Follow the beautiful but narrow walking and cycling path along the Beulakersloot

Cycling is really fun here.

On the Vollenhoofsedijk between Blokijl and Vollenhove is the Watergemaal A.F. Stroink pumping station from 1918.

The couple that run this mill are super helpful and knowledgable about the wind mill, they also run a lovely cafe right next door. She makes fantastic apple tarts. The smell of them cooking as you go into the cafe is quite a thing 😂
