Olst, via the Cossack ferry to Heerde, Epe and back to Olst

This route starts just outside Olst. Via Den Nul you cycle to the Kozakkenveer. If you want, you can visit the Infocentrum IJssel Den Nul (www.infocentrumijssel.nl). This centre is a great source of information about nature, water and cultural history. The catering industry is run by people with disabilities. They will be happy to provide you with a cup of coffee or tea with delicious apple pie. Then you cycle to the Kozakkenveer. This pedestrian and bicycle ferry operates daily from 9:30 to 17:30 between 1 April and 1 October. The ferry is only out of service at high tide. To be on the safe side, you can check this on the website (www.kozakkenveer.nl). Then you cycle to Heerde and via the Sprengen and Renderklippen you arrive in Epe. After Epe (between junctions 64 and 67) you can visit the Veluws Streekmuseum Hagedoorns Plaatse. Hagedoorns Plaatse is a farm built in 1715. The farm is still in the state it was in 1940, complete with the old box beds. Through the land between Veluwe and IJssel you cycle to Oene and Welsum. Via the ferry you arrive in Olst and cycle back to the starting point.
