Tour of Rhenen and Renkum

The route takes you from De Beekdalhoeve through the beautiful river landscape of the Rhine, with numerous water birds in the floodplains. In Renkum you will see the corn mill De Hoop (hull/remains) that served as a landmark for pilots during the airborne landings for Operation Market Garden (Battle of Arnhem) in September 1944. Near Doorwerth you will pass a number of former estates. The associated country houses were largely destroyed during the Battle of Arnhem in 1944 and not rebuilt after the war, but the nature is still beautiful there. In the Doorwertschewaarden and against the wooded hills of the Veluwezoom you can visit the 13th-century Doorwerth Castle. This castle rose from its ashes after being destroyed in the Second World War. A picture!
