Cycling along the water; Afferden, Cuijk and Boxmeer

It is wonderful to cycle along the banks of the Maas. This route starts in the town of Afferden at Eetwinkel Het Eendje. Start the tour well with a cup of coffee and something tasty. Immediately after departure you cycle through the floodplains of the right bank of the Maas. Here you pass the Gerardamolen, a windmill that has been here since 1950. This polder mill (1850) originally comes from Friesland. Get off along the way at Buitenplaats Zevenhutten in Cuijk for a cup of coffee and a small snack. In the village of Heijen you will pass the beautiful castle Heyen from the sixteenth century. Past Middelaar you cross the bridge to Cuijk, after which you continue the route on the left side of the Maasoever. After more than forty kilometers you arrive back at your starting point. Time to relax!
