Use the sluice to take the boat up by 2 metres to the level of the rivier the Rotte and cruise towards the Kralingse lake. You pass 2 diferent sluices during this cruise. The Bergse and Kralingse lake are the last two remaining of the 7 peat lakes that used to be in Rotterdam.
Sail on pleasure river Rotte, did you know that the Rotte is the river that gave Rotterdam its name? For this route you need to reserve at least 4/6 hours because of the busy sluice. A short trip up till Oud Terbregge takes 4 hours sailing, if you want to go all the way to the Rottemeren, you need to book atleast 6 hours.
The two lakes are separated by the centuries-old connecting road called 'de Straatweg'. This is also known as the "Miljonairs Road" because of the many villas on the banks of the lake. On the back part of the lake you sail between numerous small islands with small cabins on them that people use to escape the busy city in the summer. Since you can hardly see this area from the shore, it may be one of Rotterdam's best kept secrets.
Many locals sail with small boats on the back lake between there cabins ans the shore, so you have to be careful because it can be quite busy. On the front lake, especially on weekends, regular sailing is done by the scouting associations or the sailing class of sailingclub Aegir.
Complete your cruise with a delicious bottle of wine from Winebar Mendoza, if you are also hungry then expand your cruise with a snack box, you do this by ticking it in the reservation system.
