River forelands, marshes, parks, woods, heaths and rivers – the Arnhem Nijmegen region offers a great diversity of leafy parks and countryside. Why not take a walk across the vast river forelands and marshes with roaming herds of horses and cattle in Uiterwaardenpark Meinerswijk or follow the “water route” through Park Sonsbeek? Arnhem is also a perfect place for GPS rides.
Nijmegen is inextricably bound up with the largest walking event in the world, the International Four Days’ Marches. If you prefer a “stroll”, the Nijmegen area (Rijk van Nijmegen) offers a great choice of scenic walks. Alternatively, go on a cycling expedition along the Via Romana or the Knights’ route near Wijchen. Read more
By scooter
The diverse landscapes of De Liemers and Veluwezoom are popular with cyclists and walkers alike. During your day out in the country you will be likely to come face to face with a wild boar or a red deer! For a successful outing discover the countryside by scooter! The hills and valleys around the Posbank invite magnificent rides by a (large) lightweight scooter. The descent is the most spectacular part of the ride!
Wintry fun and water sports
Have some wintry fun on the indoor ski run or, if you are a sun worshipper or water sports enthusiast, enjoy yourself in or by the lake. Here you can sail, dive, surf, row and swim to your heart’s content. Alternatively, you can go canoeing on the Linge. This beautiful area is ideally suited to outdoor pursuits.
Or why not take a refreshing dip in one of the swimming pools? Playing golf or squash, climbing, mountain biking, skydiving and ballooning may not be activities that immediately spring to mind, but the Arnhem Nijmegen area is perfect for these slightly more unusual activities.
