Incentive route

Incentive route cycling package €10 pp   Can be collected from participating companies

During this last part of your cycle tour you will pass one of the most special places in the area: Ruurlo castle and estate. The country estate was mentioned as early as 1326 and has been in the hands of the Dutch noble Van Heeckeren family since the fifteenth century. The building consists of many different architectural styles because the castle has been almost constantly built over the years and centuries. For example, part of a medieval wall still exists in the basement and almost the entire left side of the castle was built in the sixteenth century. The tower at the back was added a century later. One wall in this tower was fitted with new gables in the nineteenth century. For a long time the castle was the location for the television series 'de Zevensprong'. Nowadays the castle is regularly used as a wedding location. 

 After just over 10 KM you arrive at the Lebbenbrugge Farm Museum. Here you can take a journey through time and see what agriculture was like in the past. It is very nice to see what rural life was like a few centuries ago, especially when you compare it with the modern techniques of today's farmers. Reserve this special cycling route including the accompanying package for only € 10.00 pp at one of the participating companies. A complete day of cycling including coffee/ice cream, ice cream cup, coffee/soft drinks and access to the CactusOase plus "stimulating surprise".
