Bicycle bridge over the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal

Highlight • Bridge

Western part via the Lekkanaal still open to cars, eastern then only for cyclists via the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. The ramps on the Holtener side have to come to mind first.

View of the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal and Lekkanaal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cycle path directly along the canal - when planning the route you have to puzzle a little with the bridges over the various canals.

Lekdijk

Highlight • Cycleway

It is wonderful to cycle here, especially with the wind at your back. Wide view, not only of the Lek and floodplains, but also of all kinds of casemates, lunettes and works of the Dutch Waterline.

Prins Bernhard Locks (Amsterdam-Rhine Canal)

Highlight • Structure

Here, the lock gates are raised and not folded like they are traditionally, which makes the entire complex appear much larger. The lock in Tiel appears almost identical.
