Along the IJssel between Kampen and Hattem

Go on a discovery tour through the heathland of the Oldebroekse Heide, cycle through and past charming villages and explore the grasslands of the IJsselvallei.

Oldebroekse Heide
It is never boring at the Oldebroekse Heide. As a military training area, the heath is not freely accessible everywhere, but the large and smaller sand drifts, the heath, the bushes and the bushes offer a nice variety in the landscape. The IJsselvallei is a completely different type of nature reserve. Here you will find a moist, dark and fern-rich deciduous forest, but also a blue grassland with rare plants and animals and the typical Dutch arable landscape.

Hanseatic Valley
The Hanseatic Valley has high river dikes with impressive views over the IJssel. Every now and then you cycle deeper into the valley through wooded estates and past stately manors. The glorious history of the medieval Hanseatic League has left its mark in Hattem, but also in Kampen. Kampen grew significantly in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, mainly due to its favorable location on the IJssel.
