From Ede through the Gelderse Vallei

In the Gelderse Vallei you will find an almost old-fashioned peace. In the wide landscape beautiful views and sights alternate. Ideal for a day of cycling.

The Tree
Just before Lunteren you cycle a bit through the Luntersche Buurtbosch that was created around 1890 by notary Van den Ham. From the village you cycle into the Gelderse Vallei: a lowland with vast polders and many streams. It is wonderful to cycle through this peaceful area. The kilometres seem to pass by themselves under your wheels. Just before Woudenberg, which according to some is in the middle of the Netherlands, you pass Landgoed De Boom.

Picturesque Scherpenzeel
Scherpenzeel is an old village that once lay at a strategic point on the border of Gelre and Het Sticht (Utrecht). Here you can see, among other things, the monumental Reformed Church from 1300. A little further on is Het Hooge Huys, a monument from the first half of the seventeenth century. Just outside Renswoude you pass the privately inhabited Kasteel Renswoude from 1350.
