In between the trekvaart (1632) (pull water, boats pulled by horses) and the railroad (1839) an enormous gas factory was built to provide the city with lights domestically as well as street lighting. After an extensive soil premeditation the terrain became a wonderful cultural complex.
Take the path of concrete slabs in between the factory buildings, with the Ketelhuis (boiler house) on your right. As soon as a large gas holder appears ahead of you to your right turn left until you reach the water. Cross the white bicycle bridge and traverse the busy Haarlemmerweg at the streetlights. When you look ahead you will see a large brick building.
Keep this building at your right by following the Van Hallstraat a bit and turn right after the second red block. Take the sidewalk and cycle on for about 100 meters. As soon as you come upon a water tower to your right and a factory building to your left, you have reached the old terrain of the Amsterdam waterworks company.
