Fairytale vistas around Barchem

Varied landscape
The starting point of this walking tour is a bit outside Barchem at the foot of the Kale Berg. This hill is part of a lateral moraine near Lochem, of which the Lochemerberg is also part. Don't worry, you don't have to hike up this hill. The route takes you through the woods north of Barchem. The forests in this landscape are interspersed with small heaths with a fen here and there. You also walk through areas with fields, farms, meadows and wooded banks. All green splendour.

Fascinating Barchem

Barchem is a small village at the foot of the Lochem mountain. Especially the nature around Barchem is a real attraction, but the village itself is also worth a visit. For example, you can visit the Barchkerk or find a nice restaurant to take a break. The hamlet of Zwiep also belongs to Barchem. According to the stories, the mythical Witte Wieven wander around here. Whether you want to believe those stories is up to you.
