Tour of estates near Vilsteren

This route starts at Restaurant De Witte Gans. With this estate cycle route you can enjoy sweeping views in an idyllic landscape, in which estates, manors and even a medieval castle pass your view. You pass Dalfsen and the estate village of Vilsteren. Vilsteren House, the church and the mill are the eye-catchers of the village and almost the entire village belongs to the estate. Around Vilsteren you will still find traces of the old river landscape: hidden in the greenery are dammed river bends or meanders, which are home to a rich flora and fauna. The overgrown river dunes provide even more variety. You continue through an ash landscape with heath and forest to Rechteren Castle, the crown jewel of the Overijssel estates. The oldest part, the 25 meter high residential tower, dates from 1315.
