Riverscapes in the Dutch heartland
PeteNL Says: The rivers really are the framework of the Betuwe landscape, with the main Rhine delta-rivers Waal and Nederrijn (called Lek further downstream) as main "carriers", for both water and traffic. But the more scenic one, Linge, flows through the heart of the Betuwe, in between...
PeteNL Says: Late April and early May are the best times to roam this area, in search for fruit trees in full blossom. Take your car/and or bike, and hit the road - you can follow one of the described routes, where the local tourist office can help you with, or just head out on your own...
OlafS Says: Although still called Lambertuskerk, this church fell in protestant hands centuries ago. It was in this church that William of Orange and Anna van Buren married. This late-Gothic church is mostly notable for the two upper segments of its tower, both of which show that this...
MATIM Says: and what is a city surrounder by a wall against the anemy without a cannon.My kids always have to try these guns :-) hmm don't think they quite understand the use of it!
MATIM Says: The name of this mill is prince of Orange.The mill was built in 1716.You can find the mill on the outskirts of Buren.From the mill it is a short walk to the wall of the city, at this part you can actually walk on the wall.The mill is still in use and on some days it is open...
MATIM Says: It is wise to park your car at the parking spot just outside the town, it is just across the town. You cross the main road, cross the bridge and you are in Buren, it is a walk of about 2 minutes.Buren lies beside a small river called Korne
MATIM Says: Buren is really worth a visit. It is a nice about 600 years old town.The town is almost completely surrounded by the old walls that protect the town in the old days.It is possible to walk over a part of this wall.Buren got rights and priveleges of a municipal corporation in...
MATIM Says: I liked the landscape just outside Buren, behind the wall so much that I decide to make some pictures from it too, to show you how beautiful the Netherlands can be.
MATIM Says: In this church (the St. Lambertus church), William of Orange and Anna van Buren where married.The church dates from 1395
MATIM Says: This building is the former orphanage build in 1613, a present from the daughter of William of Orange and Anna van Buren.Nowedays you can find there the Koninklijke marechaussee museum (military police museum)
MATIM Says: First I made this picture because I loved the architecture of this building, later on I found out that this building houses the Marechaussee museum, meaning military police museum.the museum shows pictures, uniforms, vehicles and interior designs.
MATIM Says: A lot of town in the Netherlands has an old weigh-house. Probably to weigh food in the old days.But there is also a story about weigh women who you expect to be a witch!
MATIM Says: Of course old city walls has gates, this is the gate on the North side of the town, it is called the Culemborgse poort (gate) named after Culemborg a place about 20 km from Buren.
...but it was nice to be here. It's one of several wall-houses, built in the 17th century against the old town walls.
We came here for a drink only. One minor complaint; when I asked the waitress what beer they had she aswered "everything". "Great", I thought, and ordered a Girardin. She had to admit she didn't know that one. They do have a reasonable choice, though, and I settled for a Kasteelbier instead.

The only city gate left is.......
Roeffie Says: Huizer or Cuilenburgsepoort Dates from 1395, on the westside of town. Buren is situated at the little river Korne and ispartly surrounded by this river and partly by a canal. The citywalls on the southeast and on the westside are fully restored in old glory. On the westside...
If you are thirsty..............
Roeffie Says: The Water PumpAlso next to the church is the water pump where people used to get their water in earlier times.There is a saying in latin on it, but unfortunately my latin is not that good!

Well, maybe Tiel is really regarded as the "fruit capital" of the Betuwe region, but on our recent trip we focussed on the area around Buren - with too little time left to wander about this lovely...
Little city of Buren and the royal link.
Buren is more then 600 years old and is well worth a visit. A big part of the surrounding medieval citywalls are still there, high above the little river Korne. One of the old citygates is another...
Buren is just a small place, but it's a nice one. I was born and raised not far from this place in the lovely Betuwe region, and I've been here often. It's an old place, founded somewhere in the 8th...
