This route leads through the Haarlemmermeer polder from 1852: tight, wide and with straight roads and drainage channels from the time of prohibition. Against that robust backdrop, small-scale surprises await. Landgoed de Olmenhorst looks like a piece of Drenthe, with orchards, old buildings and small-scale vegetation. Abbenes is picturesquely situated on a canal with bridges over it and trees along it. On and along the Ringvaart a multitude of buildings and boats awaits.
