Description
The Nijkerkernauw is one of the peripheral lakes between Gelderland and Flevoland. This lake is, together with the Nuldernauw, the narrowest peripheral lake in the Netherlands. This route takes you along the shore of the lake in the vicinity of Nijkerk.
Endless polder landscapes
Strand Nulde is the starting point of this route. From here you have a beautiful view of the Randmeren and the Flevopolder on the other side of the water. You cycle a bit along the constructed beach and then you cycle into the polder landscape on your way to the village of Steenenkamer. Then you head for the village of Diermen and then you cycle to the edge of the Nijkerkernauw. The last part of the route takes you along the water. The Randmeren were created in 1968 during the construction of Zuidelijk Flevoland. Pumping stations pump excess water from the polders to these Randmeren, so that there is no nuisance caused by the water.
Postillion Hotel Amersfoort Veluwemeer
Along the Nijkerkernauw you cycle back to the starting point. There you can go to Postillion Hotel Amersfoort Veluwemeer for a bite to eat, a drink or an overnight stay. Let yourself be pampered in the restaurant or book an overnight stay and rest well in a lovely hotel bed. Then you can go out fresh and fruity the next day.
Oldenaller Castle
On this cycle route you will pass Oldenaller Castle. There was already a castle on this spot in the Middle Ages, but little else is known from this time. The current castle dates from 1655. The house is built entirely of brick and it was built in the style of Dutch classicism. Near the bridge to the castle is a vegetable garden and an orchard.
