A tour of Culemborg

Around Culemborg it is wonderful to cycle through the wide polders and the dikes along the Lek. You will also see many sights, just like in the heart of Culemborg.

Lekdijk
What immediately stands out: the natural beauty and the peace. You drive through Culemborg through a leafy street, after which you cycle over car-free roads through the polders. On the Diefdijk you see a few bunkers from the Second World War, further on lie the old fortifications Fort Everdingen and Werk aan het Spoel. From the dike you look out over the flowery floodplains and the Lek.

Culemborg Castle
A little later you drive into the heart of Culemborg. What a beautifully preserved old city center you will find here! Especially at the market you see one ancient monumental building after another, such as the Town Hall from 1539. At Brasserie het Kasteeltje you can get off for a while to grab a cozy terrace, before you drive to the ruins of Kasteel Culemborg. The medieval castle was demolished during the eighteenth century.
