A day through the Betuwe

The Betuwe guarantees a wonderful day of cycling. You will find peace, space and plenty of historical sights.

Blooming Betuwe
Of course you will see many of the fruit orchards for which this region is known. There is still an old-fashioned tranquility in this sparsely populated area. Ideal to clear your head. In Eck en Wiel you pass Huis Vredestein, a beautiful country house from the nineteenth century.

Wijenburg Castle
Further on you will pass De Beijenkorf, a flour mill from 1873. From the dike you look out over the polders and recreation area Het Eiland van Maurik. Wijenburg was once an important castle in the Duchy of Guelders. The building was saved from demolition at the beginning of the twentieth century and restored to its former glory. In IJzendoorn you can take a look at the beautiful fourteenth-century village church.
