Description

You can discover special historical places between Maas and Waal. Such as the town of Zaltbommel, a museum pumping station and a battery that is part of the New Dutch Waterline.

Museum pumping station
The route starts in Hedel. You cross the Maas and drive over the Krommenhoek, the winding dike that follows the course of the river. Farms and green meadows on one side, the mighty Meuse on the other: what a wonderful place to get a breath of fresh air! In the hamlet of Gewande you will find the museum pumping station Caners from 1933, which is regularly open on weekends. You will learn all about the history of the water board here.

At Alem you board the ferry for an old-fashioned crossing to the other bank of the Maas. Get off in Zaltbommel, in the old center it will be no trouble to soak up the historic atmosphere. At Eetcafe Cafeteria Ons Trefpunt you can enjoy a cup of coffee with a delicious apple slice on the spacious terrace during a cycling break. Battery under Poederoijen, a little further on, was built as part of the New Dutch Waterline.
