Rieker Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Large windmill built in 1636 to drain the surrounding land. The mill originally stood in the Riekerpolder. When the mill had to be relocated due to the expansion of the Nieuwe Meer, the mill was given its current location.

The section about one kilometer before and one kilometer after the mill is paved with bricks. You can skate well with large or soft wheels, but you will be shaken a lot.

Close to the Klein Kalfje, a statue of Rembrandt suddenly pops up. Not surprising: this was the place where the painter made many sketches – which he later finished in his studio. Originally, the adjacent mill stood in the Riekerpolder. When the mill had to be moved due to enlargement of the Nieuwe Meer, the mill was given its current location. “When I have guests from abroad, I always bring them here. Then I say: It doesn't get more Dutch than this: a windmill and the statue of Rembrandt.'

Ouderkerk aan de Amstel

Highlight • Settlement

The Jagershuis (originally 1614) used to be a meeting place for the hunters who used their horses to pull the barges on the towpath along the Amstel. It is a magnificent, monumental building, situated right on the water and part of the protected village area Ouderkerk aan de Amstel (Amstelveen).

The earliest records of 't Jagershuis date back to the 17th century. The pub was originally called De Rustende Jager (The Hunter) and later Buitenlust. The name 't Jagershuis dates back to the 20th century. It was only after a thorough renovation in 1964 that it acquired its current appearance and purpose as a restaurant-hotel. It is on the list of national monuments. It consists of two gables with a wing attached at right angles and, according to the register of monuments, dates from the 18th century. In February 2017, the building was threatened with being removed from the list of national monuments because architectural research had revealed that it had been completely remodeled between 1963 and 1966 and had "no intrinsic monumental value".

In the meantime, the monument status is no longer legally disputed. The owner of 't Jagershuis is working on the renovation of the building while preserving its monument protection.

Nice fast cycling route for me from Leimuiden to the Amsterdamse Bos. 15 km nice cycling. Be careful of parked cars and fishermen who may do strange things with their fishing rod. But also very beautiful in the morning with the mist above the Westeinderplas and the Ringvaart.
