From Cuijk along the water and through the fields

The Kraaijenbergse Plassen and the beautiful nature around them are perfect for a nice bike ride. The Kraaijenbergse Plassen were created by the extraction of industrial sand, gravel and clay from 1968 onwards. Some of these lakes are used for recreation and the westernmost lake is a protected nature reserve for aquatic animals. Here you will find, for example, the coot, the shelduck and the sand martin. So look around you carefully when you cycle here and you will spot all kinds of animals. If you like to look at monumental buildings, you have also come to the right place with this route. You start the route in Cuijk at Van Der Valk Hotel Cuijk - Nijmegen.
