Over De Vlinder At the location where this mill stands, there was previously a wipkorenmolen (a type of Dutch windmill). This was destroyed by fire in 1913. The miller at the time, G.J. de Heus, then had a tall, round stone stellingkorenmolen (a type of Dutch windmill) built, which he named “De Haas”. This Haas was not destined for a long life, as in March 1931 it too burned down as a result of a storm. In the same year, the mill was rebuilt, using parts from, among others, the mill of Fikse in Heukelum, which was just being demolished.

The Appeldijk between Tricht and Mariënwaerdt is – especially during the blooming season – one of the most beautiful places in the municipality of Geldermalsen. For kilometers, the dike winds its way between rows of Goudreinet apple trees. Especially in April, people come from far and wide to the Betuwe to walk or cycle along this magnificent dike. Pedestrians and cyclists have ample space, as the dike is closed to cars. This sometimes causes so many people that real bicycle traffic jams arise. Along the beautiful river Linge, you walk towards an iconic spot in the Betuwe, the Appeldijk. For those who love blossoms and walking, this kilometer-long winding dike is a feast during the blooming months! It is largely closed to cars and motorcycles. Plenty of space to enjoy the many apple trees along the route. At the end, you have the choice to continue via the road or a forest path. If we may give you a tip: the forest path is wonderful. Both lead to the Heerlijkheid Mariënwaerdt estate. If you need a break, you can visit the farm shop here or find a spot on the terrace among the blossoming trees.

The Dalempoort is the only remaining city gate. Originally, there were four gates. The Kanselpoort, Arkelpoort, and Waterpoort had to make way for the growing traffic. The legend goes that Jan van Arkel could pull himself up, horse and all, using the beams of the Arkelpoort. His nickname was therefore Jan the Strong! The Dalempoort dates from 1597 and has a small tower with a clock. Today, a footpath runs beneath the gate to the Merwede River. If you follow the path, you have a good view of the city walls and the De Hoop corn mill. (https://www.mooigorinchem.nl/nl/locaties/4009429771/dalempoort)
