웨스타인더 플라센 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

This striking bridge over the Amstel River, the Vrouwenakker Bridge, was built in 2008. Its shape is quite remarkable; the top of the bridge suspiciously resembles the limbs of a praying mantis. The bridge connects the village of De Kwakel with the hamlet of Vrouwenakker.

The return is very passing a very industrial zone; careful with trucks

A wonderful place, simply great

Beautiful view

Awesome piece of flat gravel. With the wind behind you is flying!

The Waterwolf is a reminder of the lake that was here before the Haarlemmermeer existed. It was a wild lake and due to storms and peat excavations it became increasingly larger and more dangerous. Many villages disappeared in the waves during storms. In 1852 the lake was drained and the Haarlemmermeerpolder was created. The statue is 20 m long and 6 m high, made by Maree Blok and Bas Lugthart.

Lovely ride along the fort

There are bike paths next to it, but if you do not want to stop, you are still on the road next to the water tower and these bike paths are either in bad state or on the road - which is often very busy. Thus, I would not recommend adding this highlight particulary without the intention to stop here!
