The origin of the Rotte. De Rotte in which a dam was built around 1270 and Rotterdam takes its name. You must have been here once, right, right?

Rotterdam without knowing the origin of the river from which the city got its name.
Always wanted to visit this one instead of cycling past it so often. Super nice and recommended tour along a beautiful windmills along the beginning of the Rotte. Afterwards at the sign it becomes a ditch (!). You can continue cycling and after 200m over a piece of grass/gravel/heirloom back onto the asphalt towards the Bentwout. Or from the other side of course towards the Rotte and cycle all the way to Rotterdam itself. Great to do with the road bike too!
