Water Routes through Utrecht

One of the most beautiful routes through Utrecht. Paddling along the old wharf cellars and nice terraces on the canal. The first part of the route leads you under Hoog Catharijne via the canal to the entrance of the Oude Gracht. This can be recognized by the characteristic stone arch. The route is a perfect way to explore the old city center of Utrecht.

Since September 2020, the urban outer canal or singel has been flowing again around the center of Utrecht. The route is characterized by the wide and calm water where there is enough space for everyone. A perfect place to practice but also a nice round to enjoy Utrecht. The tour continues under Hoog Catharijne, where remains of Vredenburg Castle can still be admired. Furthermore, the route takes you past Lepelenburg park where you can eat something along the way. You will also pass museums and the old prison Wolvenplein. A fantastic historical route!
