Set off on the Via Romana

Make history come alive with this brisk bike ride! You cycle from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany to Nijmegen on an old Roman road. This road was built in the first century to connect various encampments. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the route remained important as a trade route. This has ensured that you will find sights from both Roman times and later history here. The starting point of this route is in Xanten, a charming city full of Roman sights such as St. Victor's Cathedral. You then cycle further to the places Kalkar, Bedburg-Hau, Kleve, Kranenburg, Groesbeek, Mook, Cuijk and Nijmegen. Be sure to stop at the beautiful Museum Schloss Moyland, an art museum in a castle, or the famous Kleve Swan Castle!
