Sailing route Tiel
Sailing route Tiel
I'm sure you've heard of Flipje. But do you also know that Flipje is from Tiel? And, are you familiar with the beautiful sailing route from Maurik to Tiel? Tiel is mainly a fruit city. Much is dedicated to fruit. It is not for nothing that the Betuwe is associated with fruit and you can see that in the city and its surroundings. Think of Flipje, the cheerful fruit boss of the jam factory. Think of Appelpop, the nationally known free pop festival, or the annual Fruit Parade that attracts large numbers of visitors to the city.
The itinerary from Harbour Eiland van Maurik
From harbour Eiland van Maurik you sail via the Nederrijn and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal to Tiel. The first part over the Nederrijn will be relatively quiet, compared to the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. This is because the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal is connected to the Ruhr area. You will sail towards the West and after passing Rijswijk you will arrive at the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. Here you keep to the South and sail to Tiel.
