Castles and Country Palaces Route Vorden

The Eight Castles Tour celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013 and is a very well-known bicycle route around the tourist town of Vorden, in the Gelderland Achterhoek.
The tour passes by 8 castles in the vicinity of Vorden. The route also passes the tavern 'De Wildenborcherhof', which can be used as a "rest stop".

You can ride the tour on your own, but the local V.V.V. regularly organizes guided tours from mid-June to mid-September.

(Consult the website http://www.achtkasteelentocht.nl for additional activities).

This special GPS route also largely follows the 'new' Eight Castles Route, but is expanded to include an additional castle and some country houses in the vicinity of Vorden.
