Enjoy the floodplains along the IJssel

Your route starts at Hotel Restaurant De Zwaan. This route takes you through the typical Salland landscape. You'll cycle through a region consisting of a mix of fields, meadows, authentic regional farms, hawthorn fences, and woodland. You'll also visit the picturesque village of Wijhe, nestled in the beautiful IJssel Valley. Stop by the IJssel Den Nul Information Centre for more information about the river's watershed – a great place to take a break! Nearby, you'll take a short detour through the Duursche Waard Nature Reserve to climb the observation tower. Here you can enjoy the beautiful floodplain landscape along the IJssel River. You'll also explore De Roetwaarden, a former sand extraction site that has been transformed from a deep, cold well into a natural pond. The formation of the floodplain has been visualized through channels.
