RouteXpert Review We start and stop this route at the gas station. We soon leave this province and pass Fort Vuren, which is part of the New Dutch Water Line, and which is located in the municipality of Lingewaal in the province of Gelderland.
The fort was built on the Waaldijk in 1844 and served to protect Gorinchem and to prevent the enemy from moving west. In 1847-1849 a bombproof tower was built on top of the fort. A ditch was dug around the tower, after which it could only be reached via a drawbridge. The bombproof tower was partly demolished in 1873-1879 because it was too fragile. The top floor was removed and the check-car gallery was added. The tower fort, the counter-car gallery and the barracks accommodated a maximum of 420 people and 30 artillery guns.
After this we enter the ferry across the Waal and after the crossing we arrive in Brabant.
The Vismark in Heusden is a nice place to drink coffee.
After that it is really time to make some meters and we drive on different types of roads through Noord-Brabant towards the Biesbosch.
The Biesbosch or Biesbos is the name for a very water-rich region in the Netherlands. It consists of a number of river islands and sand and mud flats in the Dutch provinces of Noord-Brabant and Zuid-Holland, situated between the rivers Boven-Merwede and Amer and intersected by the artificial river Nieuwe Merwede (Wikipedia (NL)
The asphalt is beautiful here and the roads are very clear.
After the Biesbosch we drive back via the A27 and the Merwede bridge to the starting point of the route.
The rating of 4 stars is based on the fact that the roads are good and the scenery and attractions are well worth seeing.
