Paddling near Utrecht, Utrecht
Utrecht sits at the heart of a dense network of historic waterways in the Dutch province of Utrecht. The city's Oudegracht, Nieuwe Gracht, Singel, and Minstroom run through a medieval centre lined with two-level wharves, making urban paddling here unlike anywhere else in the Netherlands. Beyond the city, the Kromme Rijn and Vecht extend into quiet rural landscapes, while the Loosdrechtse Plassen and Eemmeer provide open-water options within easy reach.
