Along the Bingerden Estate through the green Achterhoek

In the Achterhoek scenic landscape it is wonderful to cycle through a landscape of fields, meadows, hedgerows and small forests. In Kilder, just before junction 44, you will pass a monumental hail cross: an old Catholic custom to ward off evil spirits so that crops are not damaged by hail. In Didam you can see the beautiful village church from the fifteenth century. At Giesbeek you drive past the Lathumse Plas and the Valeplas, two recreational lakes. Further on you will pass the Bingerden Estate, 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 off at Down Town Wehl along the way!
