Tour around Ede

Cycling around Ede is wonderful. First, you can enjoy the fresh air while cycling through the Gelderse Vallei. Further on, you cycle through the Edese Bos, a nature reserve with oaks, beeches and conifers. On the Edese- and Ginkelse Heide you have beautiful views. In August, the heather plants bloom: the ground then turns completely purple! After a few kilometres, the heath makes way for long lanes that cut through the forests of several former estates. In Bennekom you cycle past the monumental Alexander Church, the oldest part of which dates from the eleventh century. A little later you pass the former Harslo castle that stood here from the fourteenth century until 1814. The gatehouse is the only remnant of the castle.
