Western Gein Bank

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The west bank of the Gein meanders through the flat Dutch landscape. Between Driemond and Abcoude you pass small houses, large villas and sweeping farms.

Halfway there is the windmill Broekzijdse Molen from the year 1641. More direction Abcoude is, on the other bank, built in 1874 Oosterzijdse Molen, which like the Broekzijdse Molen is also a "polder mill", ie the water from the surrounding polders in the Gein inflated.

The road is often narrow, densely overgrown to the right and left with trees and shrubs. From time to time, gaps open the view of the polder and the gein. The traffic is i.d.R. weak, the road surface good. In Abcoude there are many ways to stop.

Fort Uitermeer

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Uitermeer is part of the old and new Dutch water line and the defense line of Amsterdam. The fort has stood here in various guises: from an original redoubt from before 1589 to an earthen fort and later a bombproof fort. Nowadays you can enjoy coffee and pastries in this beautiful place. Would you like to trade in the legcar for the boat? Then this is also a very nice place to moor your sloop!
