Nature house in Kekerdom
Gelderland, Netherlands
- 2 persons
- 1 bedroom
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
In Kekerdom, under the smoke of Nijmegen and cycling distance from Millingen aan de Rijn, just outside the dike at the gate of nature reserve "The Millingerwaard" lies this monumental semi-detached house. Through the shared front door you enter the hall, where both cottages have their own lockable entrance door. There is a large shared garden, but each cottage has its own seating area. The nature house with the inscription "Natura speculum creatoris" (nature is the mirror image of creation) was formerly used as a farm, but can now be used by you as a nature house! From the cottage you step directly into the worth or start your bike ride on the dikes along the great rivers. You can swim within walking distance in one of the lakes in the nature reserve. For your wet and dry you can visit "the Millinger Theetuin" or "the Value of Kekerdom". Did you know that you have the greatest chance of seeing a beaver in the very early morning or in the evening hours?
Nature and surroundings
The Millingerwaard is a nature reserve in Gelderland and is part of the Gelderse Poort, designated as a Natura 2000 area. The area is located west of Millingen in the Ooijpolder on the river Waal and is about 800 hectares in size. The Millingerwaard is managed by the World Wildlife Fund and Staatsbosbeheer and the intention is to allow nature to take its course as much as possible. Eighty acres consist of a forest reserve with willow trees and the remainder consists of marsh, meadows, forest and surface water. The Gelderse Poort is home to about 160 Konik horses and 120 Galloways. In the Millingerwaard beavers have been released and there have been sightings of the lesser weathervane butterfly and the wood bat. Along the Waal, sand drift is taking place and river dunes have formed. There are a few farms and houses in the area where about 20 people live. The Millinger Tea Garden is also located in the Millingerwaard and can be reached on foot from the cottage.

The cottage was fine. It looked neat. Unfortunately, the TV remote was broken, and the Ziggo remote didn't work with the TV.
The weeds were tall around the house. This made it difficult to get out of the small parking lot with a bike rack on the car when the other guests were there as well. The wooden bike shed was small. There were two worn-out bikes there, which made the space for storing bikes tight. Also, along the narrow path to the bike shed, the nettles were up to knee-high.Het huisje was prima. Zag er netjes uit. Helaas was de afstandsbediening van de tv kapot en werkte de Ziggo afstandsbediening niet voor de tv.
Rond het huis stond het onkruid hoog. Het was daardoor lastig om van de kleine parkeerplaats af te komen met een fietsendrager op de auto, als de andere huurders er ook waren. Het houten fietsenhok was klein. Er stonden 2 versleten fietsen waardoor de ruimte om de fietsen te stallen krap was. Ook langs het smalle paadje naar het fietsenhok stonden de brandnetels tot kniehoogte.The surroundings are beautiful.
De omgeving is prachtig.

Straight from home into nature on foot or by bike. Wonderful.
Zo vanuit huis de natuur in te voet of op de fiets. Heerlijk.
