Bike Tour The City and the Water

ALONG THE WATER OF AMERSFOORT

Already seen the exhibition The City and the Water? A good way to further discover how Amersfoort is connected to water is to join a bicycle tour. During this tour you will see how the city deals with water, how it has been given a place and how attempts are made to protect the city from too much water. You will cycle through the old city center and also pass through a number of suburbs. You will see how green Amersfoort is.

Cycle along on this 15 km tour and listen to the stories of social geographer Arnold Huisman. The bike tour is 15 km and takes 1.5 hours.

Arnold Huisman has been organizing bicycle tours in Amersfoort and its surroundings for more than 10 years. As a geographer he connects the present, past and also casts a glance at the future. Start and arrival of the bicycle tour at Museum Flehite.

The City and the Water
This summer you can just barely see the roof of a sinking house sticking out above the surface of the water on the Westsingel. Fortunately, Amersfoort is not yet under water. With his work 'Motor Home', artist Willem de Haan humorously draws attention to the destructive power of water. Motor Home is part of 'The City and the Water'. This exhibition shows people's relationship with water in the past, present and future. A mix of old and new art, photographs and maps bring the water stories of Amersfoort to life. Take a dive and discover the conflicting roles the element plays in everyone's life.
