The Millingerwaard is the heart of the Gelderse Poort, and the most varied nature development area in the Gelderse Poort  with extensive riparian forests and flowery grasslands. The Gelderse Poort is a nature reserve between the cities of Arnhem, Nijmegen and the German Emmerich and Cleves. A contiguous natural area of ​​dynamic nature, that is the target for the Gelderse Poort.

The WWF has worked in the Gelderse Poort on the return of original river nature, in collaboration with other partners, such as Staatsbosbeheer and Stichting Ark.

The Millinger Tea Garden is located in the middle of the Millingerwaard. The Millinger Tea Garden is special because of its un-Dutch character. The garden exudes an exotic, oriental atmosphere through special plants, such as bananas, palms, figs and other Mediterranean plants, the buildings are also exotic. There is a Moorish tea house with a veranda, a Moroccan-orientated tea house and a Moroccan square with a water feature. Scattered throughout the garden are seating areas where visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in peace. The garden contains an impressive collection of perennials, including many types of Delphiniums, Hostas, Hermerocallis and Phloxes. Well worth a visit!

The Pieterpad leads from Pieterburen in North Groningen to Sint-Pietersberg in South Limburg, making it the longest continuous walking route in the Netherlands.

The transition from one area to another is sometimes very sudden and therefore very surprising. For example, the transition from Montferland to the valley of the Rhine and from there again to the hills near Beek and Groesbeek. It is not only the sudden difference in height that affects him, but also flora and fauna, types of houses and farms, everything changes with it.

One of the stages ends in Millingen aan de Rijn. Hotel Millingen aan de Rijn is therefore an ideal place as a stopover during your walking tour.

The area invites for walking and cycling. Various maps and routes are available at the reception. Also for a beautiful cycling / walking route through the Ooij polder.
