This route is about 40 km from the hotel in Weesp and to the center of Utrecht. Most of the time its cycling along the Vecht, but almost right after the start its cycling along the Rhine canal until shortly before the Nigtevecht. Here you can use the small solar-powered bicycle ferry in Dorpsstraat to the opposite bank, where you cycle towards Overmeer and subsequently to Vreeland. From Vreeland, follow the river Vecht to Utrecht (see map below).

The route is characterized by giving ample opportunity to see the many beautiful boats sailing on the Vecht. If you want to see as many as possible, it is recommended that you cycle the trip on a warm and sunny summer weekend, where it is a real pleasure to see the many beautiful old boats on the water.  

In Vreeland, it is a good idea to taste one of the pancake house's specialties, for which they are known. The restaurant is located in the middle of the small town close to the swing bridge over the river in Breedstraat 8.  

The small cozy village, Vreeland, has only approx. 1,500 inhabitants, but offers several restaurants, including a Michelin restaurant, "De Nederlanden" located by the seesaw bridge in Duinkerken 3.
