Dutch Waterline - 6 days

Day 1 - Arrival in Weesp or Muiderberg, round trip - 16 kmWeesp was a fortified city in the Old and New Dutch Waterline and in the Defense Line of Amsterdam. There are four bastions in the town and many fortresses in the area. On this arrival day you can take a short tour to the Muiderslot, the oldest water castle in Holland and the final piece of several water lines.Day 2 - From Weesp or Muiderberg to Utrecht - 59 or 56 kmAlong the Naardermeer nature reserve, you will arrive in the fortified town of Naarden. You can reach the Vecht via a cycle path between the Ankeveensche Plassen and the Spiegelplas. Following the river, you will pass beautiful fortresses, knights' homesteads and country estates. You cycle to Utrecht via Loenen aan de Vecht, Breukelen and Maarssen. Many forts lie like a collar around the city, no wonder because Utrecht was an important link in the New Dutch Waterline.Day 3 - From Utrecht to Wijk bij Duurstede - 56 kmFort Rhijnauwen, just outside Utrecht on the Kromme Rijn, is the largest fort of the New Dutch Waterline. Not much further is Fort at Vechten. The strategic location at the intersection of the Roman Limes and the New Dutch Water Line make the fort the icon of the Water Line. The Waterline Museum is located on the fort site, where the unique story is told about the defense of the Netherlands with the help of water. After a visit to the museum you will cycle through beautiful city parks and the special Verdronken Bos to the Lek.
