Cycling route Olst, Wijhe and Raalte

You start this route in the heart of Raalte. Here you will pass the Basilica of the Holy Cross, a neo-Gothic church from 1892. Further on is the Plaskerk, which originally dates from the Middle Ages. Then you cycle over car-free roads through the quiet Salland countryside with its fields and grasslands. In Wesepe, at junction 78, you will see the old village square on the left, where the fourteenth-century Nicolaaskerk is located. Just before Olst, you will pass Groot Hoenlo. The history of this manor goes back to the thirteenth century. Via Olst, you cycle to Wijhe. Just outside the village centre, you cycle over the De Gelder estate. The old manor was demolished in 1913, but you can still see the monumental coach house and farmhouse. The route ends with a pleasant terrace at Brasserie de Haenehof.
