Tour of Garderen, Nijkerk and Putten

From Garderen you first drive through the Boeschoter Bos. Here you pass an authentic sheepfold that provides shelter for a herd of Veluwe Heath sheep. Via Voorthuizen you drive to the Appelsche Heide, a nature reserve that gradually changes into a lovely scenic landscape. In Nijkerk you pass through the picturesque old center, where you will see some beautiful monumental buildings. You then drive through the Arkemheenpolder, which was built in the fourteenth century. It is one of the oldest polders in the Netherlands. From the path on top of the Zeedijk you have a beautiful view of the rippling water of the Nijkerker and Nuldernauw, after which you cycle via De Vanenburg Estate to Putten. You drive through the Speulder and Sprielderbos to Garderen. The route ends with a traditional pastry or sweet treat from Bakery Schreuder.
