Family bike ride Saahm
12 kilometres cycling, is that fun? Certainly with this route! Explore the surroundings and get off at Fort de Gagel and play in the forest. The IJsboederij in Westbroek is half way along the route, that's a nice stop for a ice cream! Continue your route, spot the frogs in the ditch and the birds in the air. Maybe it's even time for a dip in the lake when the weather is nice? After the route you have definitely earned a drink and a sandwich!

Bicycle route for 'bird watchers'
Do you like birds and biking? Then this route is especially for you. You will cycle through the polder Groot Mijdrecht. The Waverhoek is a good spot for spotting water, meadow and marsh birds. With a bit of luck you can even spot the bittern or spoonbill bird here. You will come across many more water birds if you cycle straight through the Loosdrechtse Plassen. A stop at Saahm with a delicious drink and snack and a beautiful view over the lake is of course an absolute must.
