![]() ![]() ![]() That hasn’t happened 3 years later, though. In Cleves the route ends next to the buildings of the Hochschule, the University of Applied Sciences, where an old railway carriage seems to have been converted to a cafe.Ĭonfronted with this fact, Sylvia Fleuren, the executive council member of the municipality of Berg en Dal, (of which Groesbeek is a part) confirmed that she “plays with the thought to widen the path on the Dutch side of the border”. It is barely possible to cycle side by side.” The official start (or end) of the Europa-Radbahn in the Netherlands is right here in the forest, south of Nijmegen. ![]() He wrote that because: “Where the new German asphalt is over three metres wide, the route on our side of the border is only 1.97 metres wide. This path could be an environmentally friendly alternative to the car, but that would require a face lift on the Dutch side. In 2019, on the occasion of the opening, a Dutch news reporter cycled from Nijmegen to Cleves and he commented: This makes the fast cycle route mostly flat. The railway took quite the detour to the south to avoid the hills around Berg and Dal, south-east of Nijmegen. The Europa-Radbahn is only the red part though. That has an unexpected and unusual consequence: the German part is much wider than the Dutch part! For the video I cycled the entire distance from the station of Nijmegen to the station of Cleves (Kleve), the blue line which is about 30km one way. The Dutch part of the cycle route had been opened years earlier. The final part, 11 kilometres to connect the German towns of Kranenburg and Cleves, was opened in June 2019 and got the name Europa – Radbahn. For this week’s post I cycled on an international cycle route the 30-kilometre-long fast cycle route from Nijmegen in the Netherlands to Cleves (Kleve) in Germany. ![]()
