Hiking

The contemporary landscape of the Betuwe is crossed by highways and the Betuwe line, with advancing industrial areas. However, there are still some areas that have been less influenced by the 21st century. One of these areas is the Heerlijkheid Marienwaerdt, located in the western Betuwe on the north bank of the Linge. This 900 hectare estate offers a picturesque landscape with fields, orchards, forests and meadows, and has a rich history, including the foundation of a Norbertine abbey around 1130 and the construction of the current Huis Marienwaerdt on the foundations of an old monastery building around 1800 .

Hiking

Besides Amelisweerd and Neerijnen - Waardenburg, it is one of the few estates in the Netherlands with a substantial forest area on fertile river clay. It has been used for agriculture almost everywhere. In addition to tall older oaks and (partly red) beech, the strong rejuvenation with ash is striking. In the past, the elm also had a large share in the forest: the beautiful long elm trunks yielded significant amounts of money. Nowadays, only young elm trees can be found, thanks to Dutch elm disease.
