De Riekermolen (1636) Windmill
*De Riekermolen (1636) is a historic windmill located in Amsterdam's Amstel Park. Built in 1636, it originally served for land drainage. Now a cultural landmark, it is a picturesque spot near the Amstel River, offering insights into Dutch milling history and scenic views of the surrounding landscape.*

They've got a drinking water top up point here which is perfect.

Changing scenery along Amstel River.
The landscape is pretty much flat and easy to navigate. People are very friendly and offer directions when getting around. We went for 3hrs, which in my opinion for inexperienced riders was just right for nice photos and rest. Bikes were good with self locking mechanism as well as bike chain.
