Beautiful viewpoint for the place Nes aan de Amstel.

This mill was built as a polder mill in 1778. In 1866, its function changed from polder mill to corn mill, and today it serves as a residence. De Zwarte Ruiter is a national monument, but unfortunately, it is not open to the public.

Along the route, you'll encounter a wide variety of polder windmills. These windmills were designed to pump water from low-lying areas and thus keep the land dry. The vast majority of the mills around the Kagerplassen lakes are characteristic hollow post mills with a cube-shaped upper house.

Calm and perfectly paved road with view over the polders and next to a canal.

Nice along the Amstel. Especially if you have the wind behind you.

There are bike paths next to it, but if you do not want to stop, you are still on the road next to the water tower and these bike paths are either in bad state or on the road - which is often very busy. Thus, I would not recommend adding this highlight particulary without the intention to stop here!
