발윅 최고의 사이클링 경로

You wouldn't guess it, but this very spot once housed the Waalwijk train station. The only remaining reminder of the station is the statue you're standing in front of: "Waving Woman with Child." The bronze statue depicts a mother and child waving goodbye to their father, the traveling salesman, as he sets off with his homemade shoes to sell them in the big city.

Nice place to cycle

A bit of a desert area, loose sand, but easy to walk on

Beautiful cycle path along the canal

nice ride

From the cycle path from Giersbergen to the Rustende Jager the sand dunes are clearly visible. Many unpaved footpaths and MTB routes also lead here.

Straight and wide cycle path where you can really pick up speed

Fortified town Woudrichem, or Woerkum, as the residents call it, is the only town of the Biesboschlinie. In the 9th century, a market place was created on a riverbank. Today, this is where the Hoogstraat and the Molenstraat intersect. This place is still the heart of the fortified town. Historical context: History Woudrichem is strategically located at the confluence of the Maas and Waal, at the intersection of 3 provinces. The Land van Altena, to which Woudrichem belongs, belonged to the County of Holland from 1322. It was not until 1815 that it was incorporated into the new province of North Brabant. Woudrichem was granted city rights in 1356. In that year, the count's river toll from Niemandsvriend van Sliedrecht was also moved to Woudrichem. A few years later, the town also received fishing rights and flourished. The Martinuskerk and city walls date from this period. In 1420, the toll was moved to Gorinchem. This event, the St. Elizabeth's flood of 1421 and the many military conflicts in which the town was involved due to its location, caused the decline of the town. The many sieges have left their mark on Woerkum. In 1573, the Geuzen set fire to the town. They considered it indefensible. A new city wall was then built, which protected a smaller area than the old city wall had done. This city wall is the fortress wall that still encloses the center. In 1814, Woudrichem became part of the New Dutch Waterline. From that time on, no more building was allowed in the surrounding land. It was not until 1955 that the fortress was closed and new residential areas were built around the town. The historic city center is a protected cityscape.
