History
On April 5, 1823, it was decided at Koninklijk Besluis to improve the important route between Amsterdam and de Rijd (Rotterdam) for inland shipping. The Amstel and the Aar had to be made more navigable for larger ships than the hitherto exclusively usable hunting ships. The sailing route for larger ships was severely obstructed before by obstacles such as locks and bridges. The improvements included the deepening, widening and channeling of parts of the relevant rivers and the lifting and / or relocation of locks and bridges. A dike was also constructed with a wide road along the water.

The lock at Huis ten Drecht (Jaagpad) was built as a double-sided canal lock (now single-retaining) and is equipped with two lock chambers: a wider one, in which ships of up to 55 meters in length and 8.10 in width could be locked and a narrower one for ships of up to 25 meters in land and4 meter wide. The maximum draft is 2.10 meters.

Beautiful road and bike path straight along the lake (Plassen). In summer nice views on the boats and the birds. Very good asphalt, easy rolling. Traffic even on nice summer days not a problem.
