Discover the Colonies of Benevolence by bike! A must for anyone who wants to discover the Colonies of Benevolence (UNESCO World Heritage Site). This beautiful route takes you to Frederiksoord, Wilhelminaoord and Willemsoord. A unique area with numerous monuments and a special and characteristic landscape with straight lanes. Follow in the footsteps of the first settlers who had a chance to build a new life here 200 years ago and experience the atmosphere of the early agricultural colonies. See the colony houses, Huis Westerbeek, the Colony Church, Hoeve Koning Willem III and the basketry. Moreover, you cycle across De Eese estate; another gem. TIP: follow the green signs 'Weldadig Rondje' (Benevolent Tour).
