Description

Go on a discovery tour through the heathland of the Oldebroekse Heide, cycle through and past charming villages and explore the grasslands of the IJssel valley. It is never boring at the Oldebroekse Heide. As a military training area, the heath is not freely accessible everywhere, but the large and smaller sand drifts, the heath, the roughness and the bushes offer a nice variety in the landscape. Enough reptiles and amphibians live in the area to spot a viper, grass snake or salamander if you pay close attention. The IJssel valley is a completely different type of nature reserve. Here you will find a moist, dark and fern-rich deciduous forest, but also a blue grassland with rare plants and animals and the typical Dutch farmland landscape. You can park your car for free in the car park on Dellenweg in Epe. From the Dellenweg the route leads over the Oldebroekseheide to the stately Landgoed and Kasteel Vosbergen. The beautiful house must have been built in the 16th century. The small castle is not very big, but it has remained unique because it has undergone almost no changes or expansions. The result is an intact, moated brick house that is not accessible to the public. The estate that surrounds the house can be visited. You continue your journey and cross the meandering river of Westervoort, so that you cycle deeper into the IJssel valley. You cycle along the banks of the river overlooking the grass, meadows and arable lands. When you cross it again, you will find the Mölle van Bats in Veessen. This flour mill was built in 19779 and 111 years later, next to the wooden octagonal tower mill, a steam mill was built, which came to a standstill after 1945. Nowadays, after the then miller was murdered in 1996, a volunteer miller puts the mill into operation every week. If you still have energy left after your bike ride to explore the adjacent National Park, that is of course also possible. Take a walk with the whole family through the green surroundings for a wonderful day out!
