Holiday Apartment in Ewijk for Nature and Cultural Experiences

When choosing accommodation in Ewijk, you can therefore first consider whether historical details or walking routes should define your holiday. The Doddendaelpad combines physical activity with changing landscapes, while the historic buildings and traces of the past offer a different focus.

Small Castle, Vicarage and Older Traces

Slot Doddendael is a medieval small castle surrounded by a moat. The vicarage at Julianastraat 7 in Ewijk was built in 1839 and has an Empire-style entrance surround. The vicarage estate includes a barn with a curved gable, dovecote and ornamental finial.

At the site where the Roman villa of Ewijk was discovered, there is a 17-metre-long brick-built drainage channel. Part of it was moved to the reception area of Beuningen Town Hall. The Weurtsch Straatje also dates far back: it is an 11th-century dike that workers later used to reach a brickworks. For those interested in culture, the timeline here stretches from the Roman villa to the later brickworks.

The Doddendaelpad Through the Floodplains

The Doddendaelpad leads through floodplains, across a Waal beach, through agricultural land and orchards, as well as through woodland and over a dike. The floodplains are home to large groups of Red Geuzen and Konik horses. This gives the route a variety of landscapes and a connection with nature that you can take into account when planning your days around a holiday apartment in Ewijk.

The Doddendaelpad can be reached by public transport via the Keizershoeve bus stop in Ewijk. At the Tourist Information Point TIP Ewijk, there is an information board with an overview map; route maps for walkers and cyclists are also sold there. These two points of reference are helpful if your trip is to combine walks and excursions using different means of transport.

Walking Events in the Municipality

In the municipality of Beuningen, Stichting Wandelen in Beuningen organizes a walk twice a year: Beleef Beuningen Buiten in spring and Actief Ontmoeten in autumn. The two events give the walking calendar a clear spring and autumn focus.

Beaches and Play Equipment at Groene Heuvels
