Your walking route starts at Restaurant De Witte Gans. From here you can walk straight onto the estate of Kasteel Rechteren, 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 areas of the Rechteren estate are open to walkers between sunrise and sunset. The estate measures over 1,200 hectares. A beautifully varied area, with agricultural land, forests, avenues, hedgerows, heaths 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 checkered shutters with a green border. The Rechteren estate is working hard to make the landscape future-proof. For example, disfiguring buildings have been demolished in several places. It just gets better here!
