In the Betuwe you will find everything that makes cycling so much fun: a landscape of floodplains, polders and fruit orchards. You can also admire old towns full of sights, such as Erichem and Oranjestad Buren. From the dike along the Lower Rhine you look out over the polders and recreation area Het Eiland van Maurik. You will also see some old farms. The river here forms the border between Gelderland and Utrecht. On the other side you can see the church tower of Rhenen. 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.

Sights
Molen De Hoop Rijswijk
The De Hoop windmill is located on Molenweg in Rijswijk in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a round stone ground sailor from the first half of the 18th century, which replaced an earlier mill. De Hoop is located in the floodplains of the Lek.
Wijenburg
De Wijenburg was an important castle in the duchy of Gelre. The Lords of Echteld had a lot of respect, until lord Otto van Wijhe came into conflict with the duke in 1492. The castle was saved from demolition in the early 20th century by Baron Van Verschuer and restored by Stichting Geldersche Kasteelen.
