Up Willibrordpad » 6: Grebbesluis to Arnhem Slideshow

Willibrordpad

Started in Opheusden, since return to Elst is a problem....Yet: over 25 km...

Along a route off the dyke in rural area, back to the dyke until Randwijk (short detour for coffee) and inland again to Heteren (another detour) and to Driel, back onto the dyke, followed this until shortly before the railway (no diogs allowed otherwise) and after that, on the dyke again to Arnhem, cossing the Rhine on the Mandela bridge, heading to the station for the bus back to Opheusden.

Quite a lot of wide views from the dyke....
