Ice-Beer-Cheese Route

28 mi/45 km – A delicious cycling tour between Alphen aan den Rijn and Gouda.

This cycle route connects the cities of Alphen aan den Rijn and Gouda. Life is good in the so-called environs, the outlying area around the major cities. Here you will still find the real farmer’s cheese, made on the farm, the ice cream based on the milk of the neighbor farmer and the tastiest regional beer ever from Bodegraven! Just a few examples, but there is so much more to discover at all the foraging addresses along the route.
