Cycling
Between the rivers the Lek and the Amsterdam Rhine Canal in the Utrecht countryside you will find the Kromme Rijn region. Here you cycle past beautiful villages, castles and fertile orchards. This area mainly produces pears and apples. Stop along the way for delicious farm ice cream and fresh fruit.
This 35 kilometer blossom cycle route is suitable for every level. The best time to explore this area is in the spring when the blossoms are in bloom from March to early May. It is also definitely worth coming back in the second half of summer and early autumn because then it is harvest time!
The route starts and ends in Wijk Bij Duurstede. It is also possible to start at a different point in, for example, Houten.
