De Groene Hartelijkheid is the ideal starting point for hikes, bike and canoeing trips in the vast polder landscape of the Groene Hart. There are various hiking trails in the area, such as the Pelgrimspad. The Gouden Eeuw Driehoek is a bike trip linking the three historical towns of Gouda, Schoonhoven and Oudewater. The river Vlist, which is close-by, is suitable for canoe trips. Bikes and canoes are for hire at the kanocentrum in Haastrecht.
