In 2006, the first ideas about a canoe route alongside the Grebbelinie were described. In fact, there were already three routes, however with a very poor infrastructure.
A canoe renting company was eager to have canoe landing stages, as it was missing alongside the three routes. These stages were realized in 2007 between Veenendaal and Scherpenzeel as a first mile-stone.
A Canoe Project Group Valleikanaal wanted also a canoe route from Veenendaal to Rhenen.
In 2009, the development of the fourth canoe route started with financial contributions of Grebbelinie project, NGO’s like the Water NGO “Vallei&Eem” and municipalities.
Cooperation and engagement of entrepreneurs, local/regional authorities and Water NGO’s are making this project very successful. The canoe routes are valuable extension of the recreation possibilities in the Gelderse Valley area.
The booklet “With the Canoe Alongside the Grebbelinie” is describing four canoe routes. Every route has another length and is suitable for children and adults. The water-resistant booklet is describing the canoe routes and all kind of facts and figures alongside the routes about nature, waterworks, and fish stairs and of course the Grebbelinie works. Inside are tips and rules how to handle the canoe in relation to other boats. The booklet is for sale at the local Tourist Information Points (VVV) and you can order it at canoe renting organizations.
It can be also downloaded at the sites of the “Recreatieschap Midden-Nederland “and the Water NGO ” Waterschap Vallei & Eem” in Dutch.
