Tour of Giethmen, Ommen and Vilsteren

Your cycling route starts at Camping De Koeksebelt. On the other side of the road you will immediately discover the beautiful Het Laer estate. It used to be a castle; the surrounding canals and the wooded area in which the castle came into its own are still visible. It has had many different owners over the years. After a number of sieges, renovations and takeovers, Het Laer Estate has grown into a beautifully restored manor. The Lookout Tower on the Besthemerberg guarantees a magnificent view of the surrounding area. You also cycle through the hamlet of Vilsteren, named after the Vilsteren family. An inhabited village with fields and farms since 1382. And now a 1,000-acre estate, complete with a school, a church, a mill; the Vilster Mill.
