Nice long walk across the Rechten estate

Your walking route starts at Restaurant De Witte Gans. From here you can walk straight onto the estate of Rechteren Castle, the only medieval castle that has been preserved in Overijssel. It has been inhabited by the same family for six centuries. The forest and nature reserves of the Echteren estate are open to hikers between sunrise and sunset. The estate measures over 1,200 hectares. A beautifully varied area, with agricultural land, forests, avenues, hedgerows, heathlands and low-lying land with water near the Vecht. You can see which farms and houses belong to the estate, by the oxblood red and ocher yellow checked shutters with a green edge. The Rechten estate is busy making the landscape future-proof. For example, unsightly buildings have been demolished in various places. It only gets better here!
