- You can climb up to the top.
Tuesday: 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals

Stevenskerk, inspiring meeting place for art, culture and contemplation. Construction of the church started halfway the 13th century. In 1273 the church was consecrated by Albert Magnus, the Bishop of Cologne. Of this Roman Gothic church the groundwork and the most Western bays of the ship remain. Extensive construction took place in the course of the 15th century, among others the choir and the chapels. In the 16th century work was done on the transept and small part of the ship. After about 1650 construction stopped, which left the church unfinished. The tower was fitted with a new clock floor in the 15th century. During the bombing on Nijmegen February 22nd 1944, a large part of the tower collapsed. The South-Western part of the church was heavily damaged. Also in the period during the Second World War where Nijmegen was on the front the church incurred a lot of damage. After the WWII the church was thoroughly renovated. See more..

- Pretty restaurant with historical bricks
Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 12:00 AM Points of Interest & Landmarks

I enjoyed a city sightseeing by walking for a day. Most of the sites are located in a city center and reachable by foot. - St. Stephen’s Church is simple and religious, climbing up to the top is fun. - walking around along the Main Street is really fun to stop by at food trucks and shops, see historical buildings. - if you get tired, Valkhof park is a nice park to relax. You can see the ruin of the church there. - the central station area shows a typical Netherlandish things.. bicycle lanes with signals for bicycles. I loved bicycle stoppers near the station. uploaded the photo. - I regret I couldn’t see muZIEum. Better to book ahead.

Approach the fortified town from the harbour side or from the land side, called Oostendorp, the "Vischpoort", the 16th century gate in the fortifications, is a landmark which will come into the picture immediately.

4.0 Sint Maartenskerk (38 reviews)
- Beautiful Secco
Points of Interest & Landmarks

Not only secco on the ceiling but also on the wall and some pillars though some of them are severely damaged. Still, it is a beautiful church. There is a plaque on the wall about the church during the WW2. The tower of the church shows that it was once bombed ( no more 30m high spire tower). Visit this church if you visit zaltbommel.

- Looks nice from outside
Tuesday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks

We walked past this old town hall building whilst in the town and was impressed with the architecture of this old building. It is used for weddings etc nowadays as far as we are aware so we could not go inside. Beautiful nevertheless. See more..
3.5 The Man with the two hats (34 reviews)
- The National Canadian War Memorial
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks

The Man With Two Hats monument symbolizes dualities. It represents the end of the horrors of war but in the same vein the peace and freedom. It symbolizes the two countries of Canada and the Netherlands. The outstretched arms symbolize the liberation of the Netherlands and also the reaching out of country to country. With the donation of this monument, the Netherlands pays a lasting tribute to Canada. A statue identical to this one stands in Ottawa, Ontario. The twin monuments symbolically the solidarity between Canada and the Netherlands. The location is just on the opposite of "De Naald" a famous monument of Apeldoorn. It is not really an attraction unless you are interested in the history of war See more..
4.0 Grote Kerk, Elst, The Netherlands (32 reviews)
- Interesting church on top of older churches
Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

This is a very interesting church built upon many older churches and a Roman temple. The older parts are only viewable with a tour but there are Roman and other older artifacts on display inside the church. I visited on Saturday and suspect that tours are not offered on that many days. If in Elst, this is definitely worth a visit. Elst is short train ride away from Arnhem. See more..

4.0 Uitkijktoren De Koepel (18 reviews)
- Well worth a visit
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks

We cycled to see this tower from Ede and found it signed posted and easy to get there. As we knew that it is only open in the afternoons we timed our cycle to arrive once open. The gentleman who met us spoke English and gave a great talk on the history of the tower and the surrounding forests. See more..
4.5 Nijkerk (17 reviews)
- Nijkerk, my home town
Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

Nijkerk is located in the center of The Netherlands. Close to water, forest, dunes and our national wildlife park De Hoge Veluwe. It's a small town, but offers a lot: a great variety of restaurants and bars, fit for every taste. We don't even need to go shopping in the 'big city' Amersfoort, as all we would need can be bought locally. People are friendly and the old city center has a certain kind of cosyness (gezelligheid). I came to live here almost 40 years ago, and won't be leaving any time soon. Nijkerk is home. See more..
4.0 Drogenapstoren (15 reviews)

4.0 Huis Zypendaal (15 reviews)
- Another beautiful place in Arnhem
Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

Wide wide area, clean meadows and wide open field. Trees and ponds. With the beautiful mansion hidden from the willowy trees. It's nice to wander around and feel the freedom to exclaim whatever in mind to express. It is paradise here. the air, and the swaying of the leaves gave the rhythm so nspiring. I love it here.

4.0 Goudsberg (13 reviews)
- Celtic fields - fun to watch
Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

Biked to the iron age farm, called Celtic fields, close to Lunteren. Partly because I was curious but also to just have something to bike to in the beautiful Veluwe area. I liked the farm and saw more people going there but I am not sure I was very impressed. I just miss some signs that explain a bit more. Still a nice place to stop during a bike ride, there is also a nice picknick area next to it. See more..
4.5 Oude Calixtuskerk (12 reviews)
- Nice building, nice expositions
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals

An impressive historic exposition and video impression. Groll, Grol, as from 1627. The church was taken from the Catholics during the "Beeldenstorm period" in The Netherlands. Nowadays it is used for several cultural aspects and a smaller part remained for Sunday Church activities. See more..
4.0 St. Gudulakerk (12 reviews)
- Medieval Town Church
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Observation Decks & Towers • Churches & Cathedrals

The loccation of the church is in the centre of Lochem, quite big on the middle of the market square, not far from the shopping streets so you won't miss it. The church was not open because of the pandemic, but twice a year ( due to the circumstances ) carillon music can be heard from the tower. The church is also for social and cultural activities besides the services. There is a beautiful antique lamppost outside the church. See more..

4.5 Putter Stoomgemaal (12 reviews)
- super visit on the days that enthousiastic volunteers tell you about this steam powered pumping station
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks

This steam powered pumping station has a rich history. That history is still kept alive and every week you can visit the building and hear from enthousiastic volunteers about the workings and the history. About once a month the steam engine is actually fired up and functioning as in the old days. But in the weeks in between the enthousiastic story is worth your time as well. Very friendly people and it offers a look back in time. See more..
4.0 Waterpoort te Zaltbommel (11 reviews)
- The Gate to The River Waal
Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

Waterpoort te Zaltbommel is the only remaining city gate, a part of the 14th century city walls. You can see next to the gate a remnant of the city wall, with two arches ( now it's a liquor store ). Well, it's something monumental but I'd prever seeing the bridge over the river. There are also statues of boys with left arm up to the river, one on the boulevard (bust) and the other is next to the water See more..
4.0 Middelpunt (10 reviews)
- Nothing special
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues • Scenic Walking Areas

Since we visited the highest point of the Netherland the day before, we just had to visit this place as well when we passed it on our route. We had some difficulties finding the exact location. There are hardly any road signs, but with help of google maps we managed. The place it self is nothing special. It is more the idea that you have been to the place. See more..
4.0 Katholieke St Pancratiuskerk (9 reviews)
- Beautiful Interior
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals

As we saw that the church's door was opened, we decided to visit this church. From outside it looks not really special but when you entered this church you will see how beautiful it is. The stained glass windows, the painted ceiling and pillars, the ceramic wall by the altars, the floor.... they are all beautiful. There is a special altar for a pastor and a chaplain who were died in Dachau during the WW2. Due to Covid-19, the church benches were adjusted in 1.5m distance. It's recommended to take a look or taking a moment silent in this church. You can park the car near the castle. See more..

4.5 Museumboerderij Mariahoeve (9 reviews)
- Guided tours are all that is available
Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks

This farm is a combined campground and restored farm. It was run by some eccentric sisters, who reverted to the methods of their parents when their brother (who is described as more progressive) died. The farm is only accessible by tour, and the tour guide only speaks Dutch, but there are some English notes that you can follow. This is a work in progress but does show the lifestyle of the time.

4.0 The Philip Sidney Memorial (8 reviews)
- Very Little Known about this Man
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks

Very few people know about this man without doing some research but I learned about him in primary school while having no clue that he died in the town in which I was born. There is also a plaque in his honor in the basement of St Pauls Cathedral in London. Amazing the things you can find sometimes. See more..

3.5 Linnaeustorentje (7 reviews)
- A bit odd
Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

It sometimes happens: a building is demolished except for a tower or a chimney. The remaining structure than survives for considerable time and stands lost in new surroundings. Almost tragic the 16th century gothic style tower of the former commandery of St. John is such a remainder. Later named after Linnaeus the famous Swedish scholar who studied at Harderwijk university and who most probably had no affinity for medieval orders at all. See more..

5.0 De Eerbeekse Oliemolen (4 reviews)
- Interessant kort bezoek in combinatie met honing- en bijen markt en/of bezoek restaurant
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks

Tijdens de jaarlijkse honing- en bijen markt (3e zaterdag in september) de oliemolen bezocht. Niet zoeken naar de wieken, want die heeft deze molen niet. Leuk enthousiast verhaal van een van de vrijwilligers over het proces van het malen van lijnzaad tot lijnzaadolie. Het was helaas te slecht weer om de vijver ernaast te bezoeken. Deze is ook belangrijk voor de molen. daarna wat gegeten en gedronken bij het restaurant ernaast, De Korenmolen. See more..

4.0 Gallery Polhus (4 reviews)
- Kunst die iedereen wel mooi vindt, maar smaken verschillen
Tuesday: Points of Interest & Landmarks
De eigenares bepaalt welke kunstenaar mag exposeren in haar galerie. Daarmee wordt ook zichtbaar wat haar persoonlijke smaak is en dat kan je mooi vinden of niet. Er zijn weinig expositiemogelijkheden voor kunstenaars en verkopen van werk is toch een noodzaak. Het hebben van een expositieruimte is dan lucratief als je ook nog eens in het centrum van de gemeente zit. See more..
4.0 De Hernense Molen (3 reviews)
- Rustig wandelen rond de molen van Floris
Points of Interest & Landmarks

De molen van Floris is in het echt de molen in Hernen. Netjes gerestaureerd en soms op zaterdag te bezichtigen . Het bos is rustig omdat het net wat verder weg ligt van de gewone routes.
Als het gevroren heeft kun je er ook goed schaatsen! See more..
3.5 Protestantse Kerk Hummelo (3 reviews)
- Cross Church of Hummelo
Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
