Along the Bingerden Estate through the green Achterhoek

In the Achterhoek coulisselandschap it is wonderful to cycle through a landscape of fields, meadows, hedgerows and small forests. In Kilder you will pass a monumental hail cross just before junction 44: an old Catholic custom to ward off evil spirits, so that the crops are not damaged by hail. In Didam you will see the beautiful village church from the fifteenth century. At Giesbeek you will cycle along the Lathumse Plas and the Valeplas, two recreational lakes. Further on you will pass Landgoed Bingerden, which is worth a visit. Its history goes back to the tenth century. In April 1945 the house was set on fire by retreating German troops, but it was rebuilt (on a smaller scale). The gardens in particular are very beautiful. Stop along the way at Down Town Wehl!
