Tour of the Veluwe from Heerde

This beautiful route has two faces. You cycle a long way through the forests of the Veluwe, but also experience the vastness of the IJssel Valley. Your route starts in the nice village of Heerde. First enjoy a cup of coffee at Restaurant-Snackbar-Partyservice De Spikke. Then you drive straight into the Veluwe. You can enjoy a varied landscape of coniferous forest and avenues lined with oaks and beech for many kilometers. Every now and then you have views of meadows and farms. The deeper you drive into the forest, the quieter it becomes. You cross nature reserves and former estates: Majuba, De Deelen, the Zwolse Bos and Petrea Estate. Via Wapenveld you cycle back to Heerde with its beautiful old village center. Here you pass the monumental Johanneskerk with its beautiful tower.
