Culemborgのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

特に4月中旬のリンゴの花が咲く時期は素晴らしいルートです。

A beautiful, classic park, the kind you used to find more often - with aviaries.

You will encounter beaver tracks here

You can beautifully combine two hiking areas here, on both banks of the river.

Peace and relaxation

Tough fort where you can walk through a kind of gallery. On the terrain of the fort is a small camping and some places have a great view over the ramparts.

Culemborg may not be a mega important port for shipping anymore but for pleasure boating it is all the more. It is nice to watch boats here!

The city of Culemborg was founded on the site where the old peat stream, the Meer, flowed into the Lek. The oldest reclamations on the riverbanks of the Lek date back to the early Middle Ages. When the areas behind it were also reclaimed, subsidence occurred due to shrinkage and oxidation of the peaty soil, which increased the risk of flooding. In 860 there were so many ‘terrible storms’ and the water level of the major rivers had risen so much that the old Rhine course along Utrecht could no longer handle the water and the river water sought another path. On its way to the sea, the water found another bed: the peat river mentioned earlier. This made this river (the Lek) an important main artery in the drainage of the Rhine.
