Explore the Rivierengebied Oost by bike using the Dutch cycle network
The Rivierengebied Oost cycle map, published by ANWB, is a practical tool for planning your cycling routes in the eastern Rivierengebied, a region of the Netherlands located around the cities of Deventer, Arnhem, and Nijmegen. Designed for cycle touring, this map highlights the renowned Dutch cycle network (fietsknooppunten), which allows you to easily create your route by connecting numbered points.
This system, widely used in the Netherlands and Belgium, simplifies cycling: simply follow a series of numbers to follow a pre-selected route. This method makes planning particularly accessible, whether you're on a day trip or a multi-day cycling adventure.
The map covers a region characteristic of the Dutch landscape: river plains, polders, dikes, and meadows crisscrossed by numerous waterways. The Rivierengebied Oost (Eastern River Gorge) offers ideal terrain for cycle touring, with quiet roads, dedicated cycle paths, and routes that wind through historic villages and natural landscapes.
One of the map's major strengths is the inclusion of all the LF (Landelijke Fietsroutes), the national cycle routes of the Netherlands. These long-distance routes are marked with their distances, making it easy to plan longer stages or connect different regions of the country.
Beyond the routes themselves, the map also incorporates useful information for cyclists. This includes details on museums, campsites, restaurants, and other points of interest, facilitating breaks and cultural exploration along the way. Practical infrastructure such as the road network, gas stations, and ferry lines is also shown to help you plan your journey effectively.
Thanks to its 1:100,000 scale, this map offers a clear view of the entire region while allowing you to identify the main cycling routes and towns along the way. It is therefore a practical tool for planning a bike ride or preparing a longer route through the river landscapes of the Netherlands.
Part of the ANWB's Regio Fietsknooppuntenkaart collection, this map belongs to a series of regional maps dedicated to cycle touring, widely used by Dutch cyclists to plan their rides and cycling trips.
