It's hard work to get to the other side, so a good workout.

Cable Ferry Over Het Meertje

Highlight • Bridge

The pull ferry is not very fast, but is a great way to get to the other side of the water dry to continue your trip.

Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum is the name of Nijmegen in late Roman times; the prefix Ulpia refers to emperor Marcus Ulpius Traianus, making it possible to date the name to 104 AD. Previously the place was known as Oppidum Batavorum, fortress of the Batavians. It is not certain whether Batavodurum (fortified city of the Batavians) indeed refers to the same settlement.

Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum, strategically located near the hills on the Waal river, was the capital of the Civitas Batavorum (see also Germania Secunda).
