Nunspeet, Walibi World and Oldebroek

Cycle through the watery area De Randmeren, which is an El Dorado for birds and water sports enthusiasts. Canoeists, swimmers, skaters, sailors, surfers and pleasure boaters come here to enjoy themselves. Water birds, such as the little swan and pochard, have been assigned a protected zone, where they can swim, dive and fish in peace. They live on the special flora and fauna (various fish species swim in the waters, including perch, pike, eel and roach). Unique plants such as pondweed and stone wrack, which also grow in a protected area, prevent an algae bloom in the shallow waters. You not only cycle through nature, but you also visit various charming places. Elburg is a village that originally looked directly onto the Zuiderzee. Because the fishing and trading town regularly flooded, it was decided after the flood of 1367 to move the town. During the rebuilding of Elburg it was turned into a real fortress; the intact canals and the Vischpoort are still a reminder 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 why the Elburg church is located on the edge of this place, instead of in the center as is usual. A stone's throw from the departure and end point of the cycle route (Camping Groot Grobbenhorst in Nunspeet) is a mill from 1886: De Duif. Before the ground was raised for the construction of this belt mill, a post mill stood here until 1818. The mill that was installed afterwards burned down in 1886, after which De Duif was built. Nowadays there is a café at the bottom of the mill. You cycle for 24 kilometers until you reach Landgoed en 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 found their final resting place in the adjacent Kelderbos. The entire complex; the house, the garden and the burial vault were added to the list of national monuments in 2005. Another beautiful country estate is Zwaluwenburg, an estate on which a small castle stands 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 of land. History, just like Zwaluwenburg, also left a clear mark on the Schouwenburg estate. Over the centuries, the complex, which was built in the eighteenth century, was significantly changed by the residents. Parts were added to existing buildings, new outbuildings were constructed, but the moat was also moved. With the construction of a wash house around 1930, all major changes on the estate came to an end.
