Cycle route Land of Heusden and Altena
Hank, Giessen, Almkerk
For centuries, the Land of Heusden and Altena was wedged between the counties of Holland, Brabant and Gelre. After years of struggle and uncertainty, it was determined in 1815 that this area became part of Brabant. Yet the inhabitants of the Land of Heusden and Altena are not 'typical' Brabanters. For instance, they are traditionally Protestant rather than Catholic. When cycling through the Land of Heusden and Altena, you might notice that you are on an island of sorts. The route often leads you along and over the water. For instance, you cycle a large stretch along the Bergsche Maas and discover the Afgedamde Maas - a tributary of the Maas that flows to the Merwede. You can even get off at De Biesbosch along the way. On this route we don't cycle through Heusden, but at junction 58 you can see this fortified town across the river. The Land of Altena and Heusden is watery and historic; the ideal setting for a wonderful day on the bike.
