Culemborg, Buren, Beesd

If you cycle this route in early spring, you can enjoy the blossoms of the many fruit trees in this area. These are in full bloom then! But even if you get on your bike in another period, there is plenty to see during this cycle route.

The beautiful town of Buren was once the setting for a royal wedding: William of Orange married Anna van Egmond, Countess of Buren, on 8 July 1551. The marriage was performed in Buren Castle, which unfortunately no longer exists. In 1804, badly neglected, it was demolished. But the former town hall now houses the Orange Museum, where you can see a large model of the castle.

In Culemborg, you can check out the Elisabeth Weeshuis Museum, which is perhaps the most expensive orphanage in the Netherlands. You'll also find the beautiful old Market Square, where there is a weekly market every Tuesday morning, and a Tourist Transfer Point If you'd like to start your cycle route around here, this is a great starting point.
