E-Bike Exploration: Ooijpolder Nature Reserve & Waal Riverbanks

Glide by e-bike through the Ooijpolder, a lush UNESCO-listed floodplain nature reserve directly across the Waalbrug bridge — wild horses, migrating birds, and vast river panoramas await.

What to expect

Cross the dramatic Waalbrug bridge on two wheels, then drop into the tranquil Ooijpolder — a mosaic of wetlands, orchards, and meadows grazed by free-roaming horses and cattle. Your guide knows the seasonal highlights: nesting storks in spring, golden floodplains in autumn. The route follows the Waal's southern bank back toward Nijmegen, offering the city's skyline rising above the river. Pack a camera — the light here is painterly.
