Experience cultural history in the Betuwe

The first part you drive on the Lekdijk. On one side you look out over the orchards where apples, pears and cherries grow. On the other side are the flower and bird-rich grasslands of the floodplains along the Lek. Every now and then you pass a beautiful old farm that is located right on the dike. After a visit to Cothen and Wijk bij Duurstede you can take a break at Ferry Good Food and Drinks, beautifully situated on the water. The fortified town of Buren is dotted with monumental buildings, such as the fifteenth-century Sint Lambertuskerk. The fortifications are still largely intact. From Tricht you follow the course of the Linge and pass Heerlijkheid Marienwaerdt. On this private estate of over 900 hectares there are no fewer than 40 national monuments.
