Gooi and Vechtstreek
Cycling in a typical Dutch peat landscape with shallow lakes, dense swamp forests, historic buildings and beautiful country estates.
The Landscape
The Gooi and Vecht region, part of the New Dutch Waterline National Landscape, is characterized by a typical Dutch peat landscape, rich in lakes, ditches, and narrow strips of land. The unique interweaving of nature and cultural-historical values in this area is impressive.
Amidst this picturesque landscape, with both large and small lakes, dense swamp forests, green meadows, and stately estates, stand numerous historical buildings. Forts, fortresses, and castles enrich the surroundings and tell the story of a rich history.
The Oostelijke Vechtplassen invite visitors to enjoy expansive lakes, winding ditches, open polders, and reed lands. The protected nature reserve Naardermeer also offers stunning views of shallow lakes, mysterious swamp forests, and flower-rich grasslands. This unique combination of natural beauty and historical heritage makes the Gooi and Vecht region a particularly attractive area to explore and experience.
