Description

The rural area of Zutphen consists largely of agricultural land and extensive meadows. The IJssel river cuts through this green and peaceful landscape. This route takes you through Gorssel, Zutphen and Voorst and most of the route runs over the floodplains of the IJssel.

Tower city Zutphen
The starting point of this route is in Gorssel at Museum MORE. From here you cycle along the IJssel in the direction of Eefde. Along the way you will pass the Geertruida Cornelia mill from 1893. At Eefde you cycle over the water via a bridge to Zutphen. This Hanseatic city is also sometimes called a 'Tower City', because of the many historic buildings with a tower that can be found here. There are few modern high-rise buildings in the center of Zutphen, so the historic spiers form the skyline. On this cycle route you ride along the edge of Zutphen, but it is also nice to take a look at the city center.

A cup of coffee at Museum MORE
Then you cycle further to Voorst and from there continue cycling in the direction of Twello. At the recreational lake Het Bussloo, turn right to cycle back to Gorssel. You end at Museum MORE where you can view the collection of works of art or have a cup of coffee in the brasserie. Would you like to explore this area further? Also cycle route 350629 .

Water fun at the recreational lake Het Bussloo
Recreational lake Het Bussloo was created by sand excavations for the A1 highway. The lake has an area of no less than 100 hectares and it is a true paradise for water lovers. You can of course swim in the lake, but also surfing, canoeing, pedal boating and diving. There are beaches at the edge of the lake with playgrounds for children and there is a golf course near the lake. Enough options to keep you entertained endlessly.
