The river air cuts clean as you lift onto the electric step and roll away from Nijmegen’s cobbled quay. Wheels hum; the Waal pushes a steady presence to your left while meadow grasses in the Ooijpolder bend and dare you closer. In two hours you move between old dikes, a low ridge crowned by Fort Beneden Lent (Knodsenburg) and the compact city center — a ride that feels both relaxed and purposeful.
