Trip Summary

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 of Bleiswijk until we came to Leeuwenakkerweg, which we followed towards Rotterdam from there. After a while, we continued in southwards direction, arriving at Bergsche Achterplas from the north. Circling Bergsche Achterplas on it northern and western side, we took Ringdijk and then Rozenlaan to get closer to the city center of Rotterdam. Soon after, along Schiekade, we actually arrived in the city center.
