Tour of Hulkesteinse bos, Nijkerk and Arkenheem

Your route starts at EuroParcs Bad Hulckesteijn. You will soon pass the former fishing village of Spakenburg. This village used to be on the Zuiderzee. The houses in Spakenburg were built high against the dike to protect against regular flooding. After crossing by ferry you will see rich and varied vegetation in the Hulkesteinse Bos. Oldenaller is an estate between Nijkerk and Putten. The former castle that stood here was built in the 15th century, but now you will find a country house from the 17th century. The polder between Nijkerk and Putten is one of the twenty National Landscapes in the Netherlands. In this open farming landscape you cycle past meadows, arable lands and the water of the Nuldernauw, but you also visit the beautiful historic village of Nijkerk.
