😺🗺️Nijmegen – Ravenstein – Woudrichem

10 June 2023

What a superb day to be out on the bike! I planned for 3 stops to refill my bidons, and could have used more. The landscape between Nijmegen and Ravenstein is breathtaking. The Pompveld nature reserve near Loevestein was a welcome gift after crossing one too many crop fields in the Bommelerwaard. As you can see from the route I was in full tile munching mode for a large part of my trip. Only 5 more tiles needed for a 40×40 square! ☺️

A nice long cycle path between Nijmegen and Wijchen.

Perfect spot for a break: in Zaltbommel, on a wall next to the Waal in the shadow.
