Cycle along the Naardermeer nature reserve to the fortified town of Naarden. You reach the Vecht via a cycle path between the Ankeveensche Plassen and the Spiegelplas. Cycle along the river past beautiful fortresses, knights' residences and country houses. You cycle to Utrecht via Loenen aan de Vecht, Breukelen and Maarssen. Many fortresses surround the city like a collar, which is not surprising as Utrecht was an important link in the New Holland Waterway.
