몽풋 최고의 사이클링 경로

물가 옆의 조용한 오솔길

아름답고 대부분 꽤 좁은 길 - 그냥 즐기세요, 너무 서두르지 마세요.

The IJsselpoort gate is located on the north side of Montfoort's old town center, near the Hollandse IJssel River. It was originally part of the city walls, which also had gates on the west and east sides and a Waterpoort (Water Gate) as an entrance. In 1329, Montfoort was granted city rights. The then-viscount was so powerful that he could grant them on his own. This was unusual, as a bishop or count was usually involved. A city wall was built around Montfoort with three gates and a town hall. One of the gates has become part of the city's coat of arms. The pillories, which convicts used to walk through the city, hang on the gate. (https://stadswandelingmontfoort.nl/l/ijsselpoort)

This late Gothic church, built around 1307, features a pseudo-basilica nave with an ambulatory. In the early 14th century, Gijsbrecht van Amstel, the first Lord of IJsselstein, received permission from the bishop to build a church near his castle. This church was dedicated to Saint Nicholas in 1310. Besides the castle, Saint Nicholas Church was the most important building in the city. The church tower appears in every architectural book. The Italian architect Allesandro Pasqualini built it in 1532, commissioned by Floris van Egmond, Baron of IJsselstein. He had been captivated by the beauty he saw in Italy. This is the oldest and first Renaissance building above the Alps. The baron immediately turned necessity into a virtue by having a small additional tower built on the side, with its own entrance. Here, one could be confined to five "dungeons" on bread and water. And to emphasize this, a stone pillory was built on the corner of the church. A particularly striking feature is the spire, which was installed in 1924 and designed by the Amsterdam School architect Michel de Klerk. (https://inijsselstein.nl/post/oude-st-nicolaaskerk)

Is now an Indian restaurant

The Haastrecht Hefbrug is a striking, manually operated drawbridge over the Hollandse IJssel River, built in 1883 to replace a ferry. It connects the center of Haastrecht with the Stein district and has become a historical and cultural icon. The bridge opens only a few times a day and sometimes causes waiting times for recreational boaters.

This Indonesian restaurant is located in IJsselstein. It's the smallest restaurant in the Netherlands.

The Oude Rijn Towpath is a historic path that winds along the Old Rhine, originally constructed in the 17th century to tow barges. These barges were unmanned boats pulled upstream by a rope, often attached to a horse or a person. The path ran from Leiden to Utrecht and was a vital link for the transport of goods and people.
