Neder-Betuwe and Tielerwaard
Cycling in a varied cultural landscape with a winding river, reed beds, orchards, forests and scenic dike villages.
The Landscape
When you think of the Betuwe region, you immediately see orchards full of apples, pears and cherries. This region is not called the orchard of the Netherlands for nothing. In spring you can spot blossoms all over the area. The fruit harvest is in summer and early autumn. But the region has much more to offer. It is not for nothing that this green and water-rich landscape is very popular with cyclists, hikers and tourists. The dynamics of the Linge and Waal rivers have left their mark on the landscape. The Linge is at its most beautiful between the cities of Geldermalsen and Gorinchem. The river flows like a winding ribbon through the flat river country. Swaying reed beds, fragrant orchards and historic dike villages on both sides. This was once a raging river. Anyone who now sees the river gently meandering through the landscape can hardly imagine it.
