Sloop route Vecht Noord & Naarden

Starting point: Tourist Transfer Point (TOP) Weesp – Fort Uitermeer ('s-Gravelandseweg 2, Weesp)

This sloop route follows the sloop network with nodes, and takes you past the following junctions: 46 - i – Rondje Spiegelplas – 46 – 51 – 49 – 52 – 49 – 50 – 49 – 51 – 46

Sail through a beautiful area where a rural, agricultural landscape with meadows to the horizon is interspersed with historic towns, forts and protected nature reserves. Along the way you can moor near the Crossroads at cozy restaurants with a terrace on the water or at indicated jetties to visit the atmospheric monumental towns.

Please note: this route requires some preparation, because to sail a round you have to register 24 hours in advance at three locks and a bridge. The bridge keeper from Muiden will then come to open the locks and bridge for you.
