Cycle route Giessenburg

Cycle along the waterways of Giessenburg, surrounded by lush green meadows and beautiful farms. Enjoy the peaceful scenery as you bike along the winding Giessen River, where you'll often see canoeists and fishermen. Don't forget to stop at local farm stores for fresh local produce and perhaps a tasting of delicious cheese or delicious real artisan ice cream! You'll also pass through fortified town of Gorinchem during this bicycle route. Gorinchem's fortifications are among the best preserved in the Netherlands and are an important part of this city's historical heritage. You cycle along the river Upper Merwede. At Werkendam you can only cross the river with a ferry. In general, this ferry sails regularly throughout the day, usually at intervals of about 20 to 30 minutes. It is advisable to check the current sailing times before departure.
