Visitors to North Holland may not initially consider it a prime walking destination due to its famously flat landscape. However, just south of Amsterdam, delightful walking routes await amid lush green fields, windmills, and waterways. Following the Amstel River allows walkers to explore areas enriched by history, including those significant to artist Rembrandt van Rijn. The picturesque walk commences in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, where charming streets and historical sites enhance the journey while offering a peaceful contrast to Amsterdam's bustling atmosphere. The celebration of Amsterdam's 750th anniversary also serves as an ideal backdrop for such explorations.
"The landscape is famously as flat as the local pancakes and picturesque mountains, forests and waterfalls are in short supply."
"With Amsterdam about to celebrate its 750th birthday in June, it's a good moment to see the city from another angle, along the waterway which gave the city its name."
