The main route is almost 16 km; with the branch to the Nelson Mandela Bridge and the alternative route at Lent it comes to just over 22 km in our data. You ride via Elden, through the municipalities of Overbetuwe and Lingewaard, and via Ressen and Lent to Nijmegen. Almost all of it is separate asphalt cycle path. The RijnWaalpad opened in 2015 as the region's first fast cycle route. We know of four toilets and four water taps on the way.
