Description
Royaal Rheden routeThe Veluwezoom is a special area for cycling. This is because it is located between the wooded, hilly landscape of the Veluwe and the lower floodplains of the Rhine and IJssel.
The number of other sights is at least as generous: old churches, a beautiful stretch of the IJssel river and one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands; Veluwezoom National Park with many opportunities to see wildlife.
Given its length, the challenging climbing and the many sights, this route lends itself to a full day program.
For the less experienced cyclist, riding the route by electric bicycle is a good alternative. The route of approximately 53 km is fully signposted using the ANWB signs. In addition, your own adjustments can be made to the route using cycling junctions. The suggested starting point is Veluwetransferium Posbank, but because the tour is circular, starting is possible at any point along the route.
At Paviljoen de Posbank you will pass the statue 'Queen Beatrix on a bicycle'. Pavilion De Posbank was built in harmony with nature. The statue'Queen Beatrix\\\' on the bicycle was made by the artist Daphné du Barry and is life-size.
Close to the pavilion is a viewpoint with a beautiful view over the Posbank, which is called one of the most beautiful places in the Netherlands. It is part of the Veluwezoom National Park, which extends from the culturally and historically rich estates in the IJsseldal to the forests and rolling heathlands on the highest moraine in Gelderland. The Postbank
is named after the monument in the shape of a semi-circular stone bench. This bench is named after Mr GA Pos, former chairman of the ANWB.

Common on the Veluwezoom, also called Gelders Arcadia, are the
castles and estates of wealthy families. Towards the end of the cycle route you will come across Park and Rosendael Castle (near 71). With a special collection of furniture, silver and porcelain, the castle gives a good idea of how people lived in the past. When taking a walk in the surrounding park, don't forget to take a look at the famous 'imposters'.
