Trip Summary

We started from the center of Rotterdam and cycled first into southeastern direction, crossing the new Maas via Erasmusbrug. We then passed by the stadion of Feyenoord, continuing into southeastern direction, in the south of the new Maas. East of the stadion, we turned into eastern direction. After having come to the eastern side of the highway A16, we got onto the dam in the south of the Maas and followed it until the point, where the three rivers Lek, Noord, and Nieuwe Maas come together. There, we took a little ferry to get over to Kinderdijk on the southern side of the Lek. We then explored the cultural heritage site Kinderdijk with its historic wind mills, before we got back to the river, crossing over it with the car ferry to the north. Once there, we basically cycled back into the direction of Rotterdam (now on the northern side of the Maas). After crossing the IJssel via the Algerabrug, we changed into a western direction, getting back to Rotterdam soon after.
