Cycling along the Waal

This route takes you over winding dikes along the Waal and the Dammed Maas. The route starts in Zaltbommel. This old fortified town is known for its blunt tower without a spire, the inhabited water tower and the ramparts. History is visible everywhere here. You cycle west along the Waal. At Eetcafe Cafetaria Ons Trefpunt you can take a break before continuing towards Zuilichem. Then you cross the wide polders. On the Afdamde Maas you will pass the Monument Separation of Maas and Waal. In 1883, the Maas and the Waal were officially separated at this location. Via the fortified towns of Woudrichem and Gorinchem you drive to Fort Vuren. Just before you cross the Waal again, you make a pit stop at Farm Camping De Hoge Haren.
