Biking Along the Amstel River Amsterdam
New Amsterdam Travel Video- Touring an area outside the city by bike is a must if you have some extra time to spare. Bike tour companies tend to favor going north to the Waterland area, but the areas to the south are overlooked. Biking south along the Amstel River to the small town of Ouderkerk Aan de Amstel is a great way to see beautiful scenery, watch an endless parade of boats, visit a storybook village and engage in the Dutch national past time, biking. Start around Amstel Station on the bike path on the East side of the river. Along the 9 km. route you'll pass Amstel Park, several windmills, big cottage-like houses, and pastures with cows, sheep and horses. Along the way you can stop at restaurant Klein Kalfje and also at country house Wester-Amstel with its park and gardens. There are also numerous places along the way to lay out and take a dip in the water. Ouderkerk Aan de Amstel is a picturesque town with spired churches, small canals, wooden bridges and waterside cafes. You can also visit their historical museum and the oldest Jewish cemetery in the Netherlands. A few upscale restaurants like Loetje and Ron's Gastrobar are popular with the well-to-do who pull up in their bigger boats. Tip: start late morning on the west side; stop at Klein Kalfje for lunch; visit the Wester-Amstel house; walk around the town and finish off with dinner or a drink. Then bike back along the east side. Tip 2: There are several points to cross the river. Between Amstel Station and Amstel Park, there is the Rijnstraat bridge and the A-10 overpass. Between Amstel Park and Klein Kalfje there is a pont that takes you across.. (closes after 17 or 17:30) And in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel there is also a bridge.

leaving Amsterdam
The Amstel is a river in the Netherlands which runs through the city of Amsterdam.
The Amstel's name is derived from Aeme stelle, old Dutch for area abounding with water.
Geography
The river originally began where two smaller rivers, the Drecht and Kromme Mijdrecht, joined together, a little south of Uithoorn. After the construction of a canal, the Amstel-Drecht Kanaal, the river (including the canal) now begins where the Drecht and another canal, the Aarkanaal, meet one another, near the town of Nieuwveen. Tributary rivers are the Kromme Mijdrecht, Bullewijk and Waver.
The river's mouth is in Amsterdam, where it meets the IJ bay. However, in 1936 the last part of the river (called Rokin) was filled in, so the river now ends at Muntplein, although it remains connected to the IJ through subterranean pipes.
Amstel Island
The river contains only one island (52°17′15″N 4°53′15″E), named simply Amsteleiland (Amstel Island). The only road leading to it belongs to Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, but the island itself is part of the municipality of Amstelveen. It has an area of roughly 0.05 km².
Places named after the river Amstel
Amsterdam took its name from the river. The city developed out of a small fishing village called Amstelredam, built in the 13th century alongside a dam at the mouth of the river. The town was granted city rights around 1300. The hamlet developed into the small town Amsteldam, which later became Amsterdam.
The area through which the river passes is known as the Amstelland. The city and municipality of Amstelveen, the municipality of Ouder-Amstel, the towns of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and Nes aan de Amstel are all named after the river as well. Amsterdam has a street called Amstel (along the river), a square called Amstelveld and a train station called Amsterdam Amstel.
In the former Dutch colonies in North America, a town was captured from the Swedes in 1655 and renamed Nieuw-Amstel. It is now known as New Castle, Delaware.
Bridges and other landmarks
The Amstel in Amsterdam
The well-known Magere Brug bridge in Amsterdam crosses the river, as do the Blauwbrug, Hoge Sluis and Berlagebrug bridges.
The Stopera city hall and opera house and Carré theatre are both located on the banks of the river.
Events
A nationally televised concert is held on the river every year on Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day). The rowing races Head of the River Amstel and Heineken Roeivierkamp are held on the river annually. The river also forms part of the route of the Canal Parade, Amsterdam's annual floating gay pride parade.
Amstel beer
Amstel beer is also named after the river. The Amstel brewery, as a lot of other breweries, was situated close to the Amstel river because clean river water was used to produce the beer.
