Tour of Dalfsen and manor house Den Berg

Your route starts at Camping and Chalet Park Bergzicht. Dalfsen is already mentioned in 1231. Rechteren Castle is located just across the river Vecht and was built in the year 1320. It has been inhabited by the same family for six centuries. Dalfsen, like so many places on the Overijsselse Vecht, has an abundance of beautiful old buildings: you will find no less than 72 national monuments. The cycle route runs along the woods on the south side of the Vecht to Vlisteren, the river landscape is now interspersed with woods and meadows. At junction 82, on the Heinoseweg, you will find the idyllic manor house Den Berg. A havezate (havezathe or havesate) is a fortified house, fortress or farm. In the 17th century, the manor house was a knightly property: a condition for knighthood.
