In the Broederenkerkstraat you will see some beautiful monuments, what a wonderfully historic street!TorenstadDue to the many towers, Zutphen is also called the Torenstad. At the Groenmarkt you can see, for example, the Wijnhuistoren, a belfry from 1642. Further on you will pass the fourteenth-century Berkelpoort, which was part of the city wall. A little later you walk past the Sint-Walburgiskerk, the oldest part of which dates back to the eleventh century! You walk the last part of the route along the beautiful IJssel river bank.
