Description
The military cemetery in Rhenen
Then we get on our e-bikes to get acquainted with the historic center of Rhenen, cycling through, among other things, a beautiful gate, which is characteristic of the style of the Delft school in the city center. Then we literally pause at the military cemetery in Rhenen, where victims of the memorable battle of the Grebbeberg are buried. Two employees of Stichting De Greb tell us more about what happened on this spot on May 10, 1940.
Cycling through the woods
We then continue cycling through the polders to Fort aan de Buursteeg, one of the most important defenses of the Grebbe Line, and past Renswoude Castle. Then it's time for a short break with a snack and a drink at Restaurant De Dennen. Then the time has come to explore the beautiful forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. After about 50 kilometers of cycling we stop at Lookout Tower De Kaap. Climb this tower to enjoy a beautiful view. A little further on we make time for a nice lunch at Châlet Helena Hill.
Splendor of castles on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug
On the last part of the route we cycle past numerous castles and estates. At Museum Huis Doorn we stop for a bit of history and continue cycling past the Estate Broekhuizen and Kasteel Amerongen. We end our day at Moeke Rhenen, near the starting point of the route in Rhenen. While enjoying a snack and a drink you will hear why the name Cunera is inextricably linked to Rhenen. You also have a beautiful view of the Lower Rhine and the Betuwe from here.
Are you curious what this E-bike Experience Event looks like? Then watch the film that we made on Friday 19 May on the Heuvelrug.
The Utrechtse Heuvelrug is an area full of beautiful hilly forests, impressive estates with castles and attractive restaurants to settle down. A beautiful backdrop for endless trips by bike and on foot.
