April 20, 2025, Zeedijk Along Nijkerkernauw

The Zeedijk is a beautiful stretch to ride, taking you right along the scenic Nijkerkernauw. With green nature reserves lining the water, it’s a peaceful and picturesque route – perfect for clearing your head while keeping the legs spinning. You cycle here with wide views over the water on one side and quiet countryside on the other. It’s not always about speed here, but then about enjoying the serenity and rhythm of the ride. That said, the path can be a bit narrow and is sometimes shared with all kinds of cyclists and birdwatchers, so keep your eyes open and your pace relaxed. A great spot for a recovery ride or an easy cruise with a view.

Resting point with a view over the beautiful lake. The Eemmeer is a 1340 ha peripheral lake between the Dutch provinces of Utrecht, Flevoland and North Holland that is jointly managed by Natuurmonumenten and Staatsbosbeheer.

Everything is organized commercially here. In the beautiful nature a few kilometers away you won't find the guests of the Centerpark anymore 🤔
