Discover the hidden treasures of the Gelderse Poort on this unique 40.5 km cycling route. Start your journey with a visit to the picturesque Groenlanden, a hamlet surrounded by a beautiful marsh and nature reserve where peace and space prevail. Halfway through the route, you'll discover the historic Sterreschans, a former fort. Take time to absorb the contours of the six-pointed design in the landscape and experience how this area once played a strategic military role at the division of the Rhine and Waal.

As you follow the Waal, you approach Fort Boven-Lent, also known as Sprokkelenburg. This fortification, once built to protect Nijmegen, has a rich history and now provides a unique stop for lovers of military architecture and peaceful river landscapes. Get on your bike and experience this authentic region in a way you won't soon forget.
