Trip Summary

We started to cycle from the Cool district in Rotterdam, heading for the nice biking paths along the Rotte river (i.e., towards the northeast). After passing by the lake Bergse Voorplas and Prinsenmolen, we continued on the northwestern side of river Rotte (in northeastern direction) in order to get to the park Bergse Bos. Cycling through the park, we got to know it a little. We then continued to Bergschenhoek first (in northern direction), before crossing over (then in northwestern direction) to Berkel en Rodenrijs. Crossing through the settlement, we met the train line at station Berkel-Westpolder. From there, we turned back, i.e., continued in southern direction, towards Rotterdam. Close to the airport of Rotterdam, however, we included a small detour across the fields north of the airport. Afterwards, we basically took the (more or less) straight-forward route back to Rotterdam center, cycling mostly in southern direction.
