Experience the Reest to the starting point South-East

The Reestdal, an idyllic stream valley for gourmets. This cycle route of over 57 km symbolizes the strong meandering of the border river Reest between the village of IJhorst'De Rieverst\\\' to the starting point in the hamlet of De Tippe near the peat village of Dedemsvaart. Along the way you will see the former raised bog stream becoming narrower towards the starting point. The ultimate 'rest experience' of the ancient stream valley, with its mystical places on the border of Overijssel and Drenthe, is best experienced during a mentioned 'detour'. You can visit two museums in Dedemsvaart.

Tip'Reestdal-multi-day\\\': if desired, you can shorten this 57 km cycle route via the junctions, but you can also extend it into a unique multi-day'Reest experience\\\'. To extend (approximately 87 km), choose the cycle route number 3098674'Experience the Reest to the Northwest end\\\'.
