The varied environment of Nijkerk

You will find plenty of variety around Nijkerk. You drive along the water of the Nijkerkernauw, the polder Arkemheen and through nature reserve De Appelse Heide. A great recipe for a day of enjoyment!

Arkemheenpolder
The route starts in Spakenburg, a former fishing village on the Zuiderzee. You cycle along the old harbor, which enjoys a protected village view. What a wonderful atmosphere! From the old Zeedijk you look left over the water of the Nijkerker and Nuldernauw. On the right you see the fourteenth-century Arkemheenpolder, wow! At Group accommodation De Aalbertshoeve you can stay wonderfully, but you can also book a fun activity, such as curling shooting.

Apple Heath
On the outskirts of Putten you make a stopover at VOF Heimensen ho Pluktuin Het Platteland. Enjoy a coffee with something delicious here in the Pluktuin. And pick some fruit for the road. Further on you will pass through nature reserve De Appelse Heide. Just before Appel you drive through an old bocage landscape. You really feel like you have stepped back in time here. Delicious! Mill De Hoop dates from 1888 and was used to grind grain.
