Garderen, Ouwendorp, Boeschoten

Park your car at The Sculpture Garden, drink a cup of coffee and hop on your bike to start this curved cycle route. From the southern part of Garderen you cycle the first kilometers towards Kootwijk. After seeing a lot of (curved) bike paths and farms, you cycle through the northern part of Garderen. Soon you will cycle out of the village on your way to the Speulderbos. The special feature of this forest is that a large part of the trees are crooked. Why? In the past many trees were cut down to make boats. The wood of the crooked trees could not be used and have therefore been spared. That produces a lot of nice pictures!

Via small villages like Koudhoorn and Boeschoten you slowly cycle back to The Sculpture Garden. You can spend the rest of your afternoon at this disembarkation moment. Eat and drink something at the Rozentuin lunchroom, admire the sculptures in the Sculpture Garden and visit 't Veluws Zandsculpturenfestijn.
