A tour along the Waal

This route takes you along the Waal. Cycling along the dike you can enjoy views of the floodplains and the rippling water. You will soon pass the Waardenburg, a flour mill from 1780. On the right is De Kil, an old river course lined with willow groves. Just before Opijnen you will see Huyze Uytterwaerde, a country house from 1849, on the left of the dike. In Varik you pass a fifteenth-century church tower, after which you cross the river. You drive briefly on the narrow strip of land between the Waal and the Maas. Where these rivers once had an open connection, you now drive over the St. Andries, a lock that originally dates from 1856. Further on you can take a look at Rossum Castle. The route ends at Boerderijcamping De Hoge Haren.
