The blissful tranquility around Nijkerk

The route is a great voyage of discovery and offers something for everyone. For example, you cycle along the oldest polder in the Netherlands, the Arkemheen, where the lapwing, oystercatcher, black-tailed godwit, ruff, snipe and redshank breed. You start in Hoevelaken, from here you cycle to the centuries-old polder Arkemheen. After a stop in Nijkerk you cycle past the mill "De Hoop". The mill grinds on a single pair of millstones with which barley, corn and wheat for cattle feed are ground. You should not miss the Stoutenburg coach house if you want to know more about the nature and cultural history of the Gelderse Vallei. In 1259 a castle was built here that was later demolished. Now you will find a country house from the early 19th century.
