Tour of Steenwijk

Your route starts at Residence De Eese. In the Kop van Overijssel you can cycle peacefully through a vast landscape. You will find unspoilt nature, views of babbling lakes and of course the picturesque Giethoorn. This route also takes you through Havelte in Drenthe. The picturesque Giethoorn is known as the Venice of the North thanks to its many bridges and waterways. The oldest building in Giethoorn is the Reformed Church from 1645. Nearby you have beautiful views of lakes such as the Molengat and the Bovenwijde. In old mining villages such as Nijeveen and Kolderveen you see beautiful hall farms. In Havelte you see many monumental farms. You will also pass the Clemens Church from 1310. The tower was built a century later.
