Gelderse Poort Ultra

The Gelderse Poort Ultra

This Gelderse Poort Ultra is a worthy conclusion to the Dutch Ultra Series. This Ultra has a varied route through the floodplains of the Gelderse Poort and many elevation meters around the Duivelsberg and the forests around Groesbeek.

Beautiful nature

The route of this trail runs through the dazzling nature of the floodplains around Nijmegen. Participants also run through the forests towards Berg en Dal and pass characteristic farmlands. A special area, with many hiking trails and unique plants and animals. We hope for snow! That makes the landscape a real winter wonderland.

Wet feet guaranteed, between 700 – 1000 meters of altitude, technical paths, forest paths, clog paths, heathland, forests and hills… lots of hills.

Be sure to take a look at the photos of the 2021 edition at the bottom of this page, these give a good impression of the beauty of this area.

For the Gelderse Poort Ultra we are guests at Landgoed Hotel Holthurnsche Hof. This hotel is uniquely situated on a beautiful estate between the hills of Berg en Dal.

After this Ultra, please take the time to take a seat in their excellent à la carte restaurant. It is wonderful to relax here while enjoying a tasty dinner.

It is also possible to book an overnight stay at the hotel. You will spend the night in a comfortable hotel room which is designed for a proper rest.

To make a reservation, you can contact the hotel yourself.
