Discover Het Gooi the Dutch way .. by Bicycle - SUNDAY 5th September 14.00

A half-day trip in the stunning countryside just outside Amsterdam.  Starting point train station: Hilversum CS.

The Gooi and Vecht Region (Gooi en Vechtstreek) of North-Holland in the West of the Netherlands was once called the Garden of Amsterdam. It still is mostly popular for cycling through the forests and the heath in the area. The countryside of Het Gooi is typical Dutch. You will enjoy a cycle tour through woods, heath and moors along lakes discovering small historic towns, and elegant mansions. This area is great for a relaxing bicycle trip and also ideal if you want to learn more about Dutch history. 

Please inform Fabienne Devoille (f.devoille@hotmail.com or 06.144.55.605) before September 1st in order for me to reserve you a bicycle (rental cost 10 euro/day). You may also bring your own bicycle like a real Dutch of course!
