Kinderdijk

Date:
23.09.2017
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
35.8km

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 >>>

Rotterdam-exploration 08: To Brielle and back

Date:
10.09.2017
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
69.9km

We started from the center of Rotterdam and cycled first northwards, into the direction of the airport of Rotterdam. Near the airport we turned left, then mostly in western direction, and soon reached the Old Overschie at the knee of the Delftsche Schie. We then crossed over to another city part, Kethel en Spaland. Crossing the highway A4, next, we came through city part Holy, continuing further to the large recreation area Broekpolder. Circling this area in its east and south, we ended up on Broekpolderweg, cycling parallel to highway A20 into western direction and towards Maassluis. In Maassluis, we found our way southwards to Deltaweg from where a ferry took us over the Maas to the southern side. There, we crossed Rozenburg to get onto large bridges, which led us over Calandkanaal, >>>

Rotterdam-exploration 07: Via Kralingse Plas to Rottemeren

Date:
03.09.2017
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
37.3km

We started from the center of Rotterdam, cycling eastwards to get to Kralingse Plas, i.e., a really nice recreational area quite near to the city center. From its northeastern "corner", we then continued northwards in order to connect to the Rotte and the nice dams alongside it. Once there, we cycled along the Rotte in northwards direction and arrived at Rottemeren (on its eastern side) soon. We cycled all the way northwards to the point, where the highway A12 is crossing the Rotte. There we switched to the other side (the western side) and started our return to Rotterdam from there. We started to cycle along the Rotte, again (now on its western side) until we took a turn to the right in the southeast of Bleiswijk. Leaving the Rotte behind us, we followed Merenweg in the south >>>
