The Caland & Capurissa cycling route is a beautiful, varied route that takes you past the modern port of Rotterdam, the former fishing port of Zwartewaal, and the historic harbor of Brielle.
The route starts in Brielle and takes you along the Brielse Meer, a secluded arm of the river known as a green oasis. Along the way, you'll pass the modern port of Rotterdam, the former fishing port of Zwartewaal, and the historic harbor of Brielle.
