Immediately after leaving Klimmen you head north and soon you will cross the Juliana Canal for the first time. The Juliana Canal is a canal in the Dutch province of Limburg that carries part of the water of the Maas. Most of the shipping that goes via the Meuse to Belgium and France, goes through the Juliana Canal. Just before Roermond you cross the Juliana Canal the 2nd time, and in Roermond you cross the Maas, the Maas is a 950 kilometer long river in Western Europe. The Meuse has its source in France and then flows through Belgium and the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the Maas is the southernmost of the major rivers and flows into the North Sea in the Dutch river delta. A stop for coffee or lunch has been included at the Maasplassen. After coffee you will pass the Maas a few more times. Via the National Park Maasduinen, the National Park De Maasduinen is one of three national parks in North and Central Limburg. It is a woodland and heathland area, located on an elongated sand ridge between the Maas and the German border. It is largely located within the territory of the municipality of Bergen, you go to the next stop, just located in North Limburg.

After the 2nd stop you go via Berg en Dal, over the Zevenheuvelenweg, towards Nijmegen to cross the Waal there, the Waal is a Dutch river. At Pannerden, the Rhine splits into the Pannerdensch Canal, which turns 6 km further into the Nederrijn, and the Waal. The Waal is by far the most water-rich arm of the Rhine in the Netherlands and also the most important for shipping. Not much later you cross the Pannerdensch Kanaal with the ferry service Doornenburg - Pannerden. Please note, only cash payment is possible. Cost; Motorbike excl. Duo passenger € 1.50, Motorbike with sidecar € 1.80.
In Montferland, the 1st refueling stop is planned and also a stop for coffee or lunch. If Eetcafe Sam Sam is unexpectedly closed, then continue to Uit spanning 't Peeske on Peeskesweg. It is also good to stay here.

After this stop it is time to have your picture taken, not just with someone, but with the statue of the band "Normal". Normally is a Dutch rock group that is seen as the founder of farmer rock. The group was founded in early 1974 by Bennie Jolink and Jan Manschot and broke through in 1977 with the hit Oerend Hard. Singing in the local dialect became the group's trademark. After a meander through the beautiful roads of the Achterhoek, you come to the "Ehzerbrug" at Almen, a popular crossing / photo location for motorcyclists. On the site of a concrete arch bridge from 1930, a Callender-Hamilton bridge was constructed near Almen in 1946 as part of the first repairs after the war for the military transports of the Allies between Zutphen and Germany. The Callender-Hamilton Bridge is a modular prefabricated truss bridge. It was designed by engineer AM Hamilton. Assembling a Callender-Hamilton bridge takes much longer than the more famous Bailey bridge, as it consists of individual galvanized steel girders bolted with steel bolts, all of which require torque settings. However, the Callender-Hamilton bridge is much stronger and simpler in design concept than the Bailey bridge and therefore more durable. However, the bridge over the Twente Canal, intended as a temporary bridge, has always remained there and is now a rare example of how many bridges in the Netherlands were restored shortly after the war.

The last part of this route goes through the province of Overijssel and brings you to the American Motorcycle Museum in Raalte. The unique collection of American Motorcycles of Max and Ans Middelbosch opened its doors under the name 'American Motorcycle Museum' (AMM) on April 30, 2004 in the Sallandse Raalte. The collection on display offers a comprehensive overview of American motorcycle history from the early 1900s to the 1980s and houses beautiful rarities.
