Round Veluwemeer, Harderwijk and Elburg

You drive your legs loose in the Gelderse Vallei. It is wonderfully quiet here to cycle on low-traffic roads along meadows, fields and old farms. You then pass through the Hanseatic city of Harderwijk and cross the dike that separates the Wolderwijd from the Veluwemeer. On the other side you drive along the banks. You look out over the rippling water, to the left of the path you pass the Kievitslanden bird sanctuary and forests. You cross the water again, after which you enter Elburg. It seems like you are going back in time here. Step off and enjoy the unique historic atmosphere. Just outside Oldebroek you will pass Farm Museum De Bovenstreek, which is located in a farm from 1753.
