View of the Delftse Schie

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful cycling along the water with a view of Schiedam and Rotterdam in the distance. Also a nice place to rest on a bench along the water and enjoy the surroundings.

De Tempel Country Estate

Highlight • Historical Site

The De Tempel estate and the adjacent Nieuw Rhodenrijs are one of the last remaining estates on the outskirts of Rotterdam in Oud-Overschie. Both were founded to escape the troubled city.

The Kandelaarbrug is an elegant steel drawbridge over the Delftse Schie, especially for cyclists and walkers. With its long approach and slight bend, it offers a smooth connection between Rotterdam and Delft, while you can enjoy the view over the water and the surrounding polders along the way.

Old Church, Delft

Highlight • Religious Site

Delft has two big churches: Nieuwe and oude kerk. It is possible to visit both with one ticket. Be aware of entrance fees you have to pay in the Netherlands. It is also possible to visit the tower but not in bad wether situations.

Delftsche Vliet Canal

Highlight • River

The Delftsche Vliet is a canal with a length of 4.6 kilometers between Delft and Rijswijk, and is part of the Rijn-Schie Canal, which forms the connection between the Oude Rijn near Leiden and Overschie. This connection partly follows the course of the Corbulo Canal, the connection between the Rhine and the Meuse that the Romans built in the first century.
In the middle of the 12th century, the connection was dug between Delft and the old canal, which ran to the current location of the Hoornbrug: the Delftse Vliet. The Delftse Vliet was widened from 1891 to 1894. The section from Delft to Overschie is called the Delftsche Schie.
