You start in Abcoude and discover two idyllic rivers in one route: the Gein and the Vecht. They have much in common. They meander through a quintessentially Dutch landscape brimming with culture and history.
Centuries-old country houses stand proudly along their banks. Painters and poets found inspiration there. But there is also much to discover while walking.
Start in Abcoude and walk 13 km past monumental farmhouses along the Gein, and discover the fortified town of Weesp with its impressive Tower Fort on the Ossenmarkt.
This stage is never boring. To start with, in Abcoude you can choose the new route to Nederhorst den Berg or the old route via Baambrugge and Vreeland. Both routes take you to the Ankeveense Plassen. Along the way, you will encounter all sorts of things: winding rivers, a brand-new cycle bridge, cozy terraces, a ferry, and yes, it is true, you will also walk through the province of Utrecht for a brief moment.
