During this cycling route of approximately 30 kilometers, we will guide you along the recently renewed cycling junction network. We will explain the entire process of redesigning a recreational network in which we must make use of the existing infrastructure, sometimes facing difficult choices when selecting the best cycling paths. After all: without paths, there are no routes! We will also explain and show the connection between the regional junction network, the national long distance cycle routes (LF-routes) and the international EuroVelo routes. It’s all coming together!
The Province of Utrecht is home to three remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the world-famous Rietveld Schröder House, the strategic Dutch Water Defence Lines, and the ancient Lower German Limes, the former frontier of the Roman Empire.
Join us on this journey of discovery as we connect these unique locations and their stories by bike, and explore everything involved in developing thematic tourist cycling routes.

Already renowned for its extensive network of bike lanes, cycling streets, and bike parking facilities, Utrecht continues to lead by example. In 2025 the Copenhagenize-index even ranked Utrecht the #1 cycle-friendly city in the world.
Iconic cycling-projects such as the Dafne Schippers Bridge, connecting the city with new residential areas in the east, and the large-scale bike parking facilities at train stations, which support seamless bike and public transport travel from the busy city center to the green hinterland, are just a few highlights worth exploring. But it all starts with a single step: before you hop on your bike, get into your car, or board a train, you walk.
Join us on a walking and cycling tour to experience Utrecht’s transformation toward healthy urban living for all and what makes Utrecht such an attractive destination for cycling tourism.
