Wijchen is a town in the Netherlands.

Wijchen

Understand[edit]

Wijchen has been around since the Stone Age, when it was a small agricultural settlement. Around the year 400 mostly rich Romans lived in Wijchen.

The economic and social life before the First World War was dominated by several manufacturer families, which were mostly specialized in cars and trucks.

Get in[edit]

By car[edit]

When travelling from Eindhoven, use the A50 towards Oss and Nijmegen. After crossing the river Meuse (Maas), use Knooppunt Bankhoef (Bankhoef Interchange) to turn onto the A326. The first two exits on this highway service Wijchen.

When travelling from Utrecht, Amsterdam and Zwolle, head for the city of Arnhem. Once here, use Knooppunt Grijsoord (Grijsoord Interchange), located in-between exits 25 and 26, to turn onto the A50 heading for Oss and 's-Hertogenbosch. Use the third interchange you see, Knooppunt Bankhoef (Bankhoef Interchange) to turn onto the A326. Again, the first two exits on this highway service Wijchen.

By train[edit]

Wijchen has only one station, 1Wijchen Station, which is located on the line between 's-Hertogenbosch and Nijmegen. Travel to one of these two cities, preferably the one closest to your current location, to get to Wijchen. The station is a six-minute walk from Wijchen Castle.

  • Arnhem is the capital of the province of Gelderland, and is the only Dutch city to feature trolleybuses amongst its public transportation.

  • Nijmegen lays claim to being the oldest city in the country, and this lively university city has the heritage to back it up.
  • Kleve (Germany) too is a historical city - perhaps even a better one than the above, due to its different style.
  • Venlo is one of the pearls of Limburg, for what other than its historical city centre.
