De Hoop flour mill
De Hoop flour mill

Gorinchem

Medieval towns had to be self-sufficient. Given that the potato had not yet arrived from South America, the staple food was bread. Bread needs flour, and Gorinchem had several flour mills to provide this to the local bakers. Two of these remain standing on the ramparts: De Hoop and Nooit Volmaakt. De Hoop is open every weekend. You can climb the wooden steps to the top to see how the mill operates, with the bonus of a spectacular view over the river. The miller loves to welcome guests.
Tollhouse
Tollhouse

Gorinchem

Dating from 1598, the tollhouse rises above the fortress, and with good reason: all passing ships had to pay the toll here. It was with this in mind that the tollhouse was built to provide a great view over the river. And you can enjoy this fantastic view too: the upper floor has been converted into a ‘Monument en Bed’, a luxuriously furnished guest accommodation in a heritage building.

Rondje Pontje ferry & bike tour

GORINCHEM

The wide rivers are no obstacle for cyclists; they just add to the adventure. You can map out your bike trip on the well-marked cycling network that will take you to all parts of this beautiful river landscape. The ferry can carry both you and your bike across the river so that you can explore both banks.

To make things even easier for you, we’ve marked out two cycling routes, one covering 21km and the other 30km. You can pick up your free copy of the cycling map showing the numbered ‘nodes’ (knooppunt in Dutch: locations with signs) along the route at the VVV tourist office and on the ferry.
