Slijk-Ewijk offers different ways to enjoy a visit: the beach park features sunbathing lawns, a sandy beach and water activities. A 5.7 km walking route runs through the Betuwe, and the Hervormde Kerk adds a late Gothic touch. Landgoed Loenen, a historic country estate on the banks of the Waal, is another option. To help plan your visit, start by deciding whether outdoor activities or historical topics should be the focus.
Water, sand and trails
Slijk-Ewijk Beach Park is a recreational area with extensive sunbathing lawns and sandy beaches. Swimming, windsurfing, canoeing and fishing are possible there. The options range from various water sports to fishing. If you are planning a stay at the beach park, you can focus on the activity that interests you most rather than trying to fit everything into one itinerary.
Walking and cycling are also popular activities at the beach park. So the options are not limited to water activities: walking and cycling are also among the things to do. When planning, it is helpful to distinguish between these interests: would you mainly like to be active on the water, or are walking and cycling more your priority?
One specific walking option is the “Rondje Strandpark Slijk-Ewijk.” The route is 5.7 km long and runs through the Betuwe around the beach park by Landgoed Loenen. Check the latest route information with Staatsbosbeheer before setting out.
Village church and country estate
The Hervormde Kerk in Slijk-Ewijk is a single-nave late Gothic village church dating from the 15th century. The single-nave interior has a central nave; late Gothic architectural forms define the village church, which dates from the 15th century. The church thus offers a tangible introduction to the history of the village’s architecture.
Landgoed Loenen, also known as Heerlijkheid Loenen, is a historic country estate on the banks of the Waal. Together with the village church, it offers a second historical point of interest, though with a different focus: here, the history of the estate and its location by the river take centre stage, while the church is notable for its architecture and date. Anyone interested in history can include both topics when choosing what to explore in Slijk-Ewijk.
Beach and play area at the ZandZieBar
The ZandZieBar has a public beach and a play island that is free to access. There is also a kiosk where visitors can pick up snacks and drinks. You can take food and drinks to the beach or enjoy them on the terrace. The beach, play area and kiosk are specific features of a visit to the ZandZieBar; access to the play island is free.
