Description
This route takes you through the Alblasserwaard and along the Merwede river. A cycling tour full of natural beauty and sights in old towns.
Gorinchem
A little later you will see the Peilmolen appear on the horizon from afar. This ground sailor from 1818 communicated the water level to the surrounding polder mills via signals. You pass through the Alblasserbos, a rarity in this vast region. Along the banks of the Merwede you set course for Sliedrecht, and you also drive through the historic city center of Gorinchem.
Alblasserwaard
Be amazed by the vast, flat landscape of the Alblasserwaard. You look hundreds of meters across fields. Beautiful houses stand on large plots of land, while the plots of the various plots are demarcated and intersected by ditches excavated straight. The peace and space that characterizes this region provides a relaxed feeling in a typically Dutch setting.
