The Landscape

Vast expanses of water, a rich variety of nature, and numerous cultural and historical landmarks form the essence of an engaging cycling tour through the Gelderse Poort region. The wooded hills of the Eltenberg offer breathtaking views over the Lower Rhine and the Reichswald. In the German village of Elten, you can admire the ancient St. Vitus Church and the Drusus Spring, both with over 1,000 years of history.

In the lower-lying areas, the rugged river landscape of the Rijnstrangen unfolds, a vast and dynamic region characterized by reed marshes, levees, old riverbeds, and meandering channels that wind through the agricultural landscape. From the ancient dikes, you can fully appreciate this historic scenery, where wild floodplains, flower-rich meadows, old river courses, and deep pools beautifully alternate with one another.
