Walking along the Berkel in Almen

Picturesque Alps

Almen is located between the Twente Canal and the Berkel River, in the middle of an agricultural area and beautiful estates and nature reserves. The Protestant church in Almen contains a crypt with mummified bodies. Unfortunately, these cannot be viewed. From the village you can walk to the beautiful Achterhoek scenic landscape in no time.

Walking along the Berkel

For a large part of the route you walk along the Berkel river, a river that originates in Germany. The river flows through the Achterhoek and flows into the IJssel near Zutphen. Enjoy the beautiful view while you walk along the water. Before you arrive back at Landhotel De Hoofdige Boer, you will pass Museum Staring Almen , a regional museum about the country of poet ACW Staring: the Achterhoek. Here you feel the love for the landscape, history and culture of the Achterhoek.
