The Around Watergang trail is a varied bike ride around the old ‘sailing village’ Watergang. Cycle through watery Twiske, past Ilperveld nature reserve, past the Gouwzee and finally through the peat meadowland areas of Waterland-Oost. On your way, you pass old villages with characteristic houses in the Zuiderzee town of Monnickendam.
As a result of the new rivm measures, Yellowbike has decided to close until December 15th. You can still rent a bicycle. This means that our location is temporarily closed and our tours (group bookings and individual tours) are canceled until December 15th.
