Tour of Ravenswaarden and Rammelwaard

The Ravenswaarden and Rammelwaard form a quiet area around the river IJssel near Zutphen and Gorssel. Here you look out over vast meadows, fields and estates. This nature reserve with a lot of relief is the nesting area of various bird species. Geese like to spend the winter in the Ravenswaarden and Rammelwaard, but breeding species, including the yellow wagtail, whitethroat, meadow pipits and the corncrake also like to nest here. The pollard willows in the area regularly house pairs of little owls. Just past Gorssel you will find the mill'Geertruida Cornelia\\\' along the route. This is a relatively small and young ground sailer, which was built in 1893. The mill grinds both by wind and by motor drive. The mill was restored in 2000. Stop along the way for a cup of coffee and home-made cake at De Kribbe. catering, cake bakery & museum!
