Holiday apartment in Kerkdriel: water, paths and regional culture

Kerkdriel combines a distinctive waterscape with paths, groups of stones, regional history and recurring events. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kerkdriel, you can distinguish between days at the Zandmeren, a route featuring special stones and excursions in the wider area when planning your trip.

Holiday apartment in Kerkdriel between water and paths

The Zandmeren consists of three interconnected bodies of water, each about 40 metres deep. They were created in the second half of the 20th century through sand extraction. The Zandmeren in Kerkdriel has a beach and a sunbathing lawn; it is also an officially designated bathing location. For planning your day, this means a clear focus on the water, which you can combine with a walking route.

The Molen-, Zandmeren- en Dijkentocht Kerkdriel starts and ends at Mgr. Zwijsenplein. The Blote-Keien Route follows the Zandmeren walking trail and includes seven special groups of stones created by visual artist Adri Verhoeven. The polished stones may be touched; you can also sit on them. This gives the route both a specific course and a distinctive feature that can be experienced directly.

Culture to discover

At the Driels Museum, guided tours led by volunteers are offered on request. This adds a cultural activity to the options and provides a different focus from the body of water or the route. If you would like to vary your days, you can weigh up outdoor activity against an accompanied museum tour.

Market and annual event

Kerkdriel's weekly market takes place on Fridays from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at Mgr. Zwijsenplein. The Drielse Kermis attracts thousands of visitors every year. This means that a weekly market appointment and an annual recurring event are among the different dates you can take into account when planning your trip.
