Up Willibrordpad » 3: Culemborg-WijkBijDuurstede Slideshow

Willibrordpad

From Culemborg to north of Wijk-bij-Duursted, almost 20km.

Parked our bikes there, then rode to statrting point, drove back to Culemborg, again following the Lek to the first ferry, crossed there and continued the Northen dyke to Wijk bij Duurstede and next to our bikes. Rode back by bike.Reason: length of this and next stages: these would otherwize be far too long.
