Expansive view over the Kraaijenbergse Plassen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice wide view over the lakes. With its own charm every time of the day and every season. You can take a nice bike ride around these lakes on quiet back roads and cycle paths.

Kraaijenbergse Plassen

Highlight • Lake

From all sides a nice wide view over the water. You can cycle around the lakes, for the most part quite short along the lakes themselves.

July 28, 2024,Fahrradtour von Cuijk

Today we packed up the car again and drove to Cuijk.
From there we drove a nice loop via Mook, Grave, Linden and Katwijk.
In Mook you can skip the loop. But then you won't get any delicious ice cream 😋 we were too early and couldn't enjoy it 🌞
But everything was fine. Weather, paths and food 😋😁👍

Today we drove the Cuijk-Grave circuit again. A little different than last time but no less beautiful.

It was also nice that today was a memorial day for the veterans of World War II and there were nostalgic vehicles from that era all along the route.

This round is the connection tour of our bike tour from May 8th. We start in Ravenstein, drive upstream to Mook and Katwijk and back downstream via Grave.
A beautiful loop with great views of the river and surrounding countryside. We were particularly impressed by the "Kraaijenbergse Plassen" area, an artificially created nature and recreation area.

A wonderful bike tour in wonderful weather and with exactly the right destination at the temperature.
After a short tour of Grave, we went to the Kraaijenbergse Plassen bathing lakes, a beautiful lake area. The route leads back to the starting point along the Meuse and over the historic John S. Thompson Bridge.
