Walk · 30 min · The monumental locks between the Vecht and the IJmeer, with pleasure boats passing and terraces all around. Free.

In the centre of Muiden, the river Vecht flows into the IJmeer through the Groote Zeesluis, a set of locks from 1673 that forms part of the Dutch Water Defence Lines, a World Heritage Site. Today it is mostly sailing boats and pleasure craft that pass through, and on a sunny summer day the show is to sit on one of the terraces around it and watch the manoeuvres, the jams and the crews waving.
Practical details
It is on the Sluisstraat, ten minutes' walk from the castle and next to the bus 110 stop. It is free. Combine it with the walk along the Herengracht to the castle.
