Description

The Veluwe is more than nature, anyone who comes here often knows that! With this route you will discover a special gem: Kasteel De Essenburgh.

Essenburgh
Starting point of this route is Camping Kostverloren. You will soon cycle past Kasteel De Essenburgh, a fairytale castle from 1652. It is located in beautiful surroundings, between forests and vast heaths. The estate is laid out in the style of English landscape gardens and there is a Norbertine monastery building. Also in 1992 a second monastery was built for the female Premonstratensians.

Elspeet Heath
What is special about the Elspeetse Heide is that the extremely rare rice grain moss grows there, which was long assumed to be extinct. The presence of ancient burial mounds and old oak groves also give the area special value. Heath sheep traditionally graze the Elspeetse Heide, be sure to take a look at the sheepfold! A little further on you will pass windmill De Hoop from 1894, on the edge of Elspeet. You drive back to your starting point through the woods and heathland at Vierhouten.
