Ringvaart

The Ringvaart loop is a go-to route for many riders heading out from Amsterdam, right up there with the Rondehoep. It’s simple to follow, has very few traffic lights, and keeps you moving. Just be ready for some wind, it’s pretty open out there.

The loop follows the Ringvaart canal, which circles the Haarlemmermeer polder. This canal was built to drain water from the polder, and its name literally means “ring canal.”
