Description

Discover the special history in the rural area between Veluwe and IJssel valley: from a medieval bishop to a castle that fell in the Battle of the Grebbeberg.

Bishop Davidsgrift
You cycle here between Veluwe and IJssel valley - so you ride along the Bisschop Davidsgrift, the water that determines the border between Gelderland and Utrecht. In 1473, the Utrecht bishop David of Burgundy had a drainage canal dug to open up the Ameronger and Rhenen peat bogs: this Grift (or Grebbe).

Castle Heimerstein
Rhenen received city rights as early as 1258. You will experience plenty of peace and space along the Lower Rhine. From the Rijnkade you can see the more than 80 meters high tower of the Cunerakerk. Further on you will pass Heimerstein Castle: after the original castle was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Grebbeberg in 1940, it was rebuilt in 1946. Just before the end of the route you will see De Doesburgermolen: this closed standard flour mill was built around 1620.
