Join us on a scenic cycling journey out of the urban heart of Amsterdam as we head south into the "Green Heart" of the Netherlands. This ride takes us along the banks of the iconic Amstel River and the winding Vecht, passing through the historic villages of Abcoude and Baambrugge. Along the way, we explore the 17th-century Broekzijder Molen and the striking towers of Nyenrode Castle before arriving in Breukelen—the picturesque village that gave its name to New York’s famous borough of Brooklyn.

You'll also learn about the Dutch establishment of the original New York. and the history engineering marvel of the Dutch polders, the hidden industrial history of windmills, and how the massive Amsterdam-Rhine Canal keeps Europe’s economy moving. Whether you're a cycling enthusiast or a history buff, this ride offers a unique look at how the Dutch have mastered the art of living and riding on water.
