The inline skating route
During this route you skate on a nice road all the way from Bunschoten-Spakenburg to Amersfoort. This skating route is about 30 km long but you can also shorten or make it longer if you want and add a round of Amersfoort to it. There you can also have a delicious lunch before you go back.
In the vicinity of Bunschoten-Spakenburg there is a lot of nature with many forests, meadows and water but also history with museums and cozy terraces to complete a wonderful day of skating.
If you choose to go into the center of Amersfoort, you may want to take a look at Binicafe. This is a delicious organic and vegan restaurant that is committed to a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. At Sla En Meer you can also eat tasty and healthy food. You will find on their menu mainly fresh salads and juices. On a kiss to a lunch place? Blur Your Life offers you a choice between the tastiest things, whether it’s a cup of coffee from locally roasted coffee beans, a vegan piece of cake or a soup of seasonal products.
What do I need for this skate route?
Of course, you need a good pair of skates. They have to be the right size and comfortable, because you are going to make a big trip with them. If you are still planning to do things during the skating route, it may also be useful to bring normal shoes so that you can change them. Furthermore, we advise you to have suitable clothes, both comfortable clothing and something against the rain (because yes, in the Netherlands there can sometimes be a shower …). Having a backpack is handy, then you always have water with you and you can take something to snack on with you.
For beginners, a first aid kit is recommended. Sometimes you go a bit harder than intended and an accident is then in a small corner. If you do not often skate long distances, blister plasters are also a must! For your safety, wearing good protection is important. Therefore, make sure you have a good inline helmet and a protective set for wrists, elbows and knees.
Sleeping somewhere?
The route is easily accessible via the farm where there are a number of cute gypsy wagons. Spend the night in the middle of nature to relax after such a day of rollerblading. Make your day truly unique and experience life on the farm. Are you going out with the family? Then this gypsy wagon for 4 people or this gypsy wagon with box bed is ideal! On an adventure as a couple? Then you have the choice of this spacious gypsy wagon with seating area or a small cozy gypsy wagon.
