Farmhouse Cheese-Route

Jump on your bike and explore this peatland region that is the birthplace of Gouda cheese.

26 miles / 42 km right through this area with its small-scale farming. Naturally, you’ll start at the De Waag (historic weighing house) in Gouda, from where Gouda cheese conquered the world. From there you cycle from one cheese farm to another. Each with its own story and a sometimes long history.
