Route Summary
A beautiful route of about 260 km, which I have ridden several times myself. You ride over dikes and through the Green Heart of the Netherlands.

A route with many bends through a beautiful area with nice villages and a number of sights.

The starting and ending point in Nieuwegein (Hajé and Foodcourt).
Preferably do not drive in the weekend because on various parts of the route it can be very busy with cyclists, pedestrians and car clubs. Also parts of the route can be closed to motorcycles and other motorized traffic in the weekend.

I rate this route with 4 stars because of the many dike roads.

RouteXpert Review
This route through the provinces of Utrecht and South Holland mainly runs along dike roads, so there are many bends, beautiful nature and pleasant villages along the way.
The starting point is the Hajé restaurant in Nieuwegein, the end point is the Foodcourt in Nieuwegein, both are located on the A27 and are therefore easily accessible.

The route is almost 260 kilometers and you will be on the road for a whole day. In the weekend it can be very busy with cyclists on this route, so keep that in mind. Sometimes parts of the route are closed in the weekend, so keep in mind that you can expect a diversion.

You drive through the Groene Hart with its vast meadows, peatlands, beautiful ponds, lakes and rivers, historic villages and cities, forts and farms. That is the Groene Hart of the Netherlands, the green oasis surrounded by the cities that are collectively known as the Randsteden in Midden-West-Nederland. In addition to the green landscape, the Groene Hart has much more to offer, from active excursions to relaxing and unique attractions.

You can optionally adjust the route with visits to the historic fortified town of Woerden, the country's wedding capital Montfoort or experience Oudewater, the picturesque and oldest town in the Groene Hart. Meet each other in IJsselstein and take a look at the Middle Ages. A beautiful region for a day out, a weekend away or a full holiday. More information about the Groene Hart at the links in this review.

Along the way you will see mills, beautiful (draw) bridges, castles and especially lots of green and blue. You follow the dikes along the Hollandsche IJssel, the Lek, the Meije and the Amstel.

One of the most beautiful parts is the Meije, this is a beautiful winding road, it is very narrow, so be careful and in the weekend it can be very busy. Be especially considerate of the residents and adjust your speed, there have been several attempts to close this road to motorcycles, which were lost via the courts.

Along the way you pass several beautiful villages where you can stop for a drink or something to eat, a number of options are included in the route. Along the route there are also a number of sights that you can visit and of course there are enough opportunities to stop somewhere to take pictures.
