This route is extra nice if you take this cycle path from Boshuis Drie. Then you will also pass the 'monks' in the forest and the Medusa statue. Finally, you will end up on the (old) Arnhemse Karweg. Then you can cycle straight on to Arnhem. 😅 Watch out for the wolves in the forest.😎

Nice path, very narrow and sandy with small stones. Cycling slowly in dry weather, it's still doable with road bike tires.

Continuing from the beautiful Oude Voorthuizerweg is the Dusschoterweg. A lovely cycle path through the meadows and along a stretch of beautiful nature with marshy areas.
