The village is known for the many estates that wealthy Amsterdammers had built here in the 17th century. First, large quantities of sand were dug up and transported to Amsterdam by barge. This sand was used to build the famous canal belt, among other things. Stately summer residences were then built on the vacant plots. The showpiece is without a doubt the Trombenburgh house, from 1672, which lies like a ship in the water. The client was Cornelis Tromp, the son of naval hero Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. From the terrace on the roof you could see the ships on the Zuiderzee at the time.

The fortress is part of the Unesco World Heritage Dutch Waterlines: These were used to defend the western Netherlands. In the event of a threat, the locks could be opened to flood the land. The flooded area served an important purpose: the knee-high water was too shallow for enemy boats and too high for vehicles, foot soldiers and horsemen. The land along the waterline was impassable! To this day, the water is considered an important ally of the Netherlands

There are faster and more straightforward paths in the region. But if you're not necessarily looking to ride quickly, this is a beautiful highlight on your route. The paths are otherwise great for cycling.

Beautiful old fortress with good coffee around the corner.

Very beautiful old place with history. These types of locations are exceptionally beautiful.

The Naarden fortress has been beautifully restored. Naarden is one of the best preserved fortified towns and unique because of its star-shaped construction.

A beautiful town with an impressive history

City, originated on the northwest side of the Gooi near the Zuiderzee (now IJsselmeer). Naarden, first mentioned around 900, was further north-east and was granted city rights around 1325. Around 1350, Naarden was destroyed by Hoekse troops. Partly due to the increasing coastal erosion, rebuilding followed further inland, for which Count William V granted permission in 1351. Due to its location on the sea dike (Westdijk) between Naardermeer and Zuiderzee, Naarden acquired great military significance. In 1355 the defensive belt around the city was completed and in 1403 Albrecht van Beieren gave permission to build a seaport.
