Description
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.
