Description

Day 1: Arrival in Apeldoorn (Ugchelen) - A Welcome to Veluwe

Welcome to your bike journey starting from the stunning setting of the Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn - De Cantharel, surrounded by the tranquility of Veluwe's countryside. As soon as you step into this luxurious hotel, you'll feel at home with its cozy amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools and a complete wellness area. Take some time to relax and enjoy this oasis of comfort before your two-wheel adventure.

Day 2: Apeldoorn (Ugchelen) - Nijmegen (Lent) (64 km)

Your second day will begin with an exhilarating ride through forests and mists leading to the picturesque Hoog Buurlo and Hoenderloo. Let yourself be enchanted by the natural charm of De Hoge Veluwe National Park, an authentic green gem of the Netherlands. Here, you can explore wonders like the Jachthuis Sint Hubertus and the Kröller-Müller Museum, which houses the second-largest collection of Van Gogh in the world and an impressive sculpture garden. You'll then continue to Schaarsbergen, admiring the serene beauty of the Hotel Warnsborn and the Airborne Cemetery in Oosterbeek. Don't miss the opportunity to take a walk around Doorwerth Castle and enjoy a chocolate cake in its picturesque courtyard. Crossing the Rhine with the Driel pedal ferry, you'll relive historical moments from 1944 as you venture towards the splendid Van der Valk Hotel Nijmegen-Lent. If necessary, the route offers the option to be shortened at three different points, with a minimal variant of 48 km.

Day 3: Nijmegen (Lent) - Arnhem (Papendal) (61 km)

A new day awaits with stunning views as you cycle through the peaceful region of Ooijpolder. The varied landscape of this corner of the Netherlands will enchant you, with winding waterways, lakes, sand dunes, and floodplains. You'll then pass by historic brick factories now closed and the characteristic village of Ooij, where you can make a stop at the De Thornsche Molen café with its picturesque view. From here, you'll cross the Rhine to Millingen and continue along De Bijland lake to visit the historic house of Huis Aerdt. Cycling along the old embankments, you'll reach Loo to take the ferry at Huissen, from where you'll follow the Rhine to the John Frost Bridge, a symbol of the historic Operation Market Garden in 1944. You'll end the day in Arnhem at the modern Van Der Valk Hotel Arnhem-Papendal.

Day 4: Arnhem (Papendal) - Apeldoorn (Ugchelen) (62 km)

Ready for a new adventure immersed completely in the nature of Veluwezoom National Park, you'll start the day crossing the Warnsborn estate. Here, you'll discover the rare juniper plant, then proceed to the Dutch open-air museum and Roosendael Castle. Don't miss the opportunity to observe sheep grazing near the Heuven sheepfold. You'll cross the scenic Posbank and enjoy a walk among the blooming heather, which blossoms in vivid purple in the right season. After a pleasant lunch at the Posbank pavilion, you'll continue cycling through the picturesque landscapes to Laag-Soeren, Eerbeek, and along the canal from Apeldoorn to Loenen. Be sure to stop to see the Loenen waterfalls before concluding your tour at the Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn - De Cantharel. For a shorter experience, you can choose a green variant of 9 km.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
