Enjoy cycling through the Gelderse Vallei

In the Gelderse Vallei you will make a beautiful route through a varied landscape of forest, grasslands and the ancient Arkemheenpolder. You will also pass sights such as a vineyard and a steam pumping station.

Vineyard
Nearby you will pass B&B Groot Overhorst, where you can stay with the farmer. A nice rural address! Just before Appel you will drive through an old coulisse landscape. You will really feel like you are back in time here. Mill De Hoop dates from 1888 and was used to grind grain. Further on you will pass Wijngaard Aan de breede Beek, a nice stop.

Arkemheen steam pumping station
The Arkemheenpolder was already constructed in the fourteenth century, it is one of the oldest polders in the Netherlands. Here you will find the Arkemheen Steam Pumping Station, a monument from 1883. The name of the Zeedijk dates back to the time when you looked out over the Zuiderzee here, now you can see the Nijkerkernauw and Flevoland. In the Gelderse Vallei you drive through the forests of the Kruishaarse Heide, near Voorthuizen you come through the natural recreation area Zeumeren.
