Description
Enjoy the view over seemingly endless polders, cycle along the water or would you rather discover a city by bike? It is sometimes difficult to choose, but fortunately that is not always necessary. This route takes you through Hasselt and Zwolle, along the IJssel and through a beautiful polder landscape.
Mastenbroek polder area
The first kilometers of this cycle route take you through Mastenbroek, one of the oldest polders in the Netherlands. There used to be a large swamp forest here, but that forest was reclaimed in the 14th century to make extra room for arable farming. Nowadays mainly corn is grown in this quiet area. Then you cycle for a while along the IJssel until you enter the historic Hanseatic city of Zwolle. You cycle for a while along the edge of Zwolle and then continue your route in the direction of Zwolle.

From manor to country house
Huize Den Doorn used to be a manor. At the end of the 19th century, part of this house was demolished and renovated. At that moment the building took the shape it still has today. The other buildings that used to stand on this estate have all disappeared. Only the farmhouse that was built in the 19th century next to the house still stands. The house was extensively restored between 1955 and 1967.
