Nunspeet, Walibi World and Oldebroek

Cycle through the wetland area De Randmeren, which is an Eldorado for birds and water sports enthusiasts. Canoeists, swimmers, skaters, sailors, surfers and pleasure boaters come here to indulge themselves. Waterfowl, such as the Bewick's Swan and Pochard, have been allocated a protected area where they can swim, dive and fish in peace. They live from the special flora and fauna (various fish species swim in the waters, including perch, pike, eel and roach). Unique plants such as pondweed and ringweed, which also grow in a protected area, prevent algal blooms in the shallow waters. You do not only cycle through nature, but also visit various cozy places. Elburg is a village that originally looked directly at the Zuiderzee. Because the fishing and trading town regularly flooded, it was decided to move the town after the flood of 1367. During the reconstruction of Elburg it was turned into a real fortress; the intact canals and the Vischpoort are still reminders of this. The church in the town is special, because it has retained its old location for years, despite the fact that the rest of the town had already been rebuilt. That is also the reason that the church of Elburg is on the edge of this place, instead of in the center as is usual. A stone's throw from the starting and finishing point of the cycle route (Camping Groot Grobbenhorst in Nunspeet) is a windmill from 1886: De Duif. Before the ground for the construction of this belt mill was thrown up, a standard mill stood here until 1818. The mill that was placed afterwards burned down in 1886, after which De Duif was built. A café has now been set up at the bottom of the mill. You cycle for 24 kilometers until you reach Landgoed and Huize Morren. The estate was already inhabited before 1700, but the mansion was extensively renovated and changed in 1771, 1804 and 1910. The country house has elements from the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The garden is laid out in the English landscape style. The whole is surrounded by a moat. The former owners of the estate have found their final resting place in the adjacent Kelderbos. The total complex; the house, the garden and the crypt were added to the list of national monuments in 2005. Another beautiful country estate is Zwaluwenburg, an estate on which stands a small castle that is now privately inhabited. The area outside the canal belongs to a foundation, and the first mention of Zwaluwenburg dates back to 1326. The house was only built in 1728 and occupies a dominant position on the plot. Just as with Zwaluwenburg, history also left a clear mark on the Schouwenburg estate. Over the centuries, the complex, which was built in the eighteenth century, was considerably changed by the residents. Pieces were added to existing buildings, new outbuildings were built, but the moat was also moved. With the construction of a wash house around 1930, all radical changes on the estate came to an end.
