From the Sallandse Heuvelrug to the Herikerberg

Fancy a beautiful and varied day of cycling? Then hop on the saddle for this route over the Sallandse Heuvelrug and through the area around Markelo. From the TOP you immediately drive into the forests of Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park. You can fully enjoy the fresh air and the birdsong here. After a while you cycle through the heart of Rijssen. Here you can view, among other things, the Schildkerk. The oldest parts of this building date from the twelfth century. From Rijssen you cycle through the Borkeld nature reserve. In the forest on the Herikerberg you can get off for a meal at Landhuishotel and Bistro Herikerberg. Further on you drive through Stokkum, a picturesque hamlet where there are several old Saxon farms. You drive back to the starting point via Holten.
