Cycling route Gorinchem: Nature center and Fort Vuren

Your cycling route starts at Gorinchem Nature Center. From here you cycle. In the picturesque and very religious Hoornaar you will see a seesaw mill, one of the two remaining mills of the polder Het Land der Zes Molens. This is the Scheiwijkse M, from 1638. Along your route you also have a beautiful view of the Waal, where you see many boats. The sixteenth-century city walls in the city center of Gorinchem are well preserved. The Dalempoort dates from 1597. Fort Vuren was built in 1844 as a simple, earthen fort. In the nineteenth century it was built with a tower that was only accessible via a drawbridge. The fortress was built to protect Gorinchem, as part of the New Dutch Waterline. You cycle back to your starting point via Philadelphia Care Location Ambulant Gorinchem.
