• Today we will explore the historic fortress town of Gorinchem, a star-shaped gem along the Dutch Waterline, a series of strategic defenses that once harnessed water routes to thwart invaders. Inspirato members will have three exciting options for exploring this fascinating region.

• Choose to bike along the Waal River, a beloved local pastime, and take in the scenic beauty as you pedal through lush green spaces, past waterways, and along unique fortified structures. Ferry rides designed especially for cyclists add to the charm of this experience.

• Alternatively, join a guided walking tour of Gorinchem, where you’ll stroll the town’s historic ramparts, visit the old windmill, and explore a museum dedicated to Hendrick Hamel—the 17th-century sailor who penned the first European account of Korea.

• Step further into history and venture to Castle Loevestein, accessible by ferry just outside of Gorinchem. Founded in 1358, the castle grew into a formidable stronghold funded by tolls imposed along the river, and remains a proud monument of the Dutch Waterline today.
