Those who choose this cycle route will encounter a lot of history: the churches of the places you cycle past have often been here for centuries. Another highlight is the water tower in Meerkerk. From the tower you have a great view over the water where the Kraneschipbrug used to be, now on display at the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam. Between Ameide and Meerkerk, you cycle through the Natura 2000 area the Zouweboezem. This nature reserve with lots of open water is an important area for birds. But it is also home to special plants, such as the rare blue grassland. It is a true oasis for nature lovers who enjoy peace and space. This cycle route offers a wonderful combination of history and nature. Enjoy the centuries-old churches, impressive views and the rich biodiversity of the Zouweboezem. A perfect tour for anyone who loves culture and nature in one.
