The route starts at the Tourist Transfer Point (TOP) Linschoten, just south of Woerden. You follow the route counterclockwise. First, you cycle through the picturesque Linschoten with its historic center, and then you cycle through polders to Harmelen and Vleuten. Next, you cycle to the largest castle in the Netherlands, De Haar. Through the polders and past the quaint Kockengen, you cycle to the winding river Kromme Mijdrecht. You follow this river northwest along the eastern bank, and after 4 km you cross a narrow bicycle/pedestrian bridge (bicycle bridge De Hoef) to follow the western bank in a northwestern direction. Upon reaching the northernmost point, you continue along the Hogedijk by the Roerdomp pond, and then you bicycle for a few more kilometers (partly car-free) along the Kromme Mijdrecht in a southeastern direction. You can completely skip the (by the way beautiful) section along the Kromme Mijdrecht at Woerdense Verlaat, then the route will be 19 kilometers shorter. You can also choose to go directly back in a southeastern direction along the Kromme Mijdrecht at bicycle bridge De Hoef, which will shorten the route by 10 km.

After that, you cycle through the Nieuwkoopse Plassen, then you cycle along the winding river Meije and you cross through the Nieuwkoopse Plassen again via a concrete bike path (with a drawbridge, and you need to pass through a flap gate twice). You can also choose to leave the concrete bike path and continue cycling along the Meije. You will then rejoin the route near Bodegraven. Through Zwabberdam and Bodegraven, you cycle through the winding Oud-Bodegraven to the Reeuwijkse Plassen and then along the Hollandse IJssel. You cycle straight through the picturesque and historic center of Oudewater (definitely worth a visit) and then you follow the winding and narrow road along the river Lange Linschoten until you reach Linschoten.

On nice weekends, it can be busy on the dike roads (along the Meije and Kromme Mijdrecht) and on separated bike paths through the Nieuwkoopse Plassen and Reeuwijkse Plassen. Other separated bike paths on the route are between Linschoten and Woerden, between Woerden and Harmelen, near castle De Haar, between Castle De Haar and Kockengen, and the last section along the Kromme Mijdrecht (between De Hoef and Noordse Buurt).
