Relaxing Sunday Afternoon Walk: Nijmegen Skyline (7 km)

In this walk, we stick near the city centre but walk along the various bridges over the Waal and Spiegelwaal and get the chance to look at the city of Nijmegen from varying different viewpoints. Along the way we encounter a number of artefacts from the city’s rich history.
We’ll start where it all began, in the Valkhof, where the first settlements were build by the Batavian tribe around the birth of Jesus Christ. We’ll cross the Waalbrug which was an important battleground in WWII and over to the area now known as Lent, which became an important strategic area in the ensuing Cold War.

We’ll then walk north over the Lentloper bridge for an obligatory look/photo opportunity at the Face of Nijmegen and then back into Nijmegen via the railway bridge. Then let's find a nice cafe to sit down, relax and get coffee/food/beer.
The walk is almost all on good paths but sturdy footwear is advised, especially if the weather is harsh. Remember to bring some water and maybe snacks. The walk should take about 2 - 2.5 hours.
