To Kaizerswaard in Rotterdam and back

Date:
30.06.2018
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
24.8km

I started from the center of Rotterdam and biked northwards first, crossing the main train station of Rotterdam (through the tunnel). After exploring Provenierssingel a bit, I continued my round via Bergweg to Zwart Janstraat, on which I then cycled into southeastern direction. When crossing the Rotte, I turned into a southern direction and continued until I got to Oudehaven. From there, I followed the Maas river (in eastern direction, mostly), until I came to the large bridge Van Brienenoordbrug. Crossing over the Maas on this bridge, I got myself onto a biking path leading to the park De Twee Heuvels. At Kaizerswaard, I started my return to the center of Rotterdam, first heading towards Lombardijen. Near Spinozapark, I turn right (and into northern direction). After a while, I ended >>>

Exploring Zuiderpark in Rotterdam

Date:
24.06.2018
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
15.5km

To do a bit of physical work out, we decided to explore Zuiderpark in the south of Rotterdam. To get there, we started in the center of Rotterdam, cycling in southern direction along Westersingel. We then connected to Het Park, before we took the tunnel underneath the Maas river to get to the southern side of Rotterdam. In Oud Charlois, we continued in southwestern direction, parallel to Waalhaven. When getting to Waal, we turned to the left (then in eastern directcion) and started to follow the larger arch of parks, including Zuiderpark and Valkeniersweide. On our way back to Rotterdam, we explored Randweg and Hillevliet, before we got back to Rijnhaven. From there, it was only to cross the bridge Erasmusbrug to complete this loop through the south of Rotterdam. See also the related FB-page >>>

Exploring Middendelfland by bike

Date:
03.06.2018
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
37.4km

This day, we decided to explore Middendelfland with our bikes. We cycled first northwards from the center of Rotterdam, passing by the airport at its eastern end. From there, we enjoyed our biking across the fields and along the really many canals. The path along Berkelse Zweth, which brought us nearer to Middendelfland (in western direction) was comparably narrow and some care was needed when letting others pass by. Near Zweth we crossed over the canal Delftsche Schie, which we then followed northwards on its western side. Before getting into Delft, we turned left and entered the large park area Abtswoudse Bos on its eastern end. After cycling through the big park, we continued westwards in the south of Abtswoude. When meeting Vlaardingervaart, another big canal, we turned left again >>>
