Tour of Woldberg and Steenwijk

Your route starts at Buitengoed Fredeshiem. Quite surprisingly, the flat and water-rich Overijssel just above Steenwijk suddenly changes into a rolling landscape. Here you will find the Steenwijkerwold, which consists of gently sloping forests and centuries-old avenues. The estate-like De Woldberg stands out like a mountain at 26 m above sea level. Be sure to climb the lookout tower not far from the tea house: 131 steps take you another 24 meters higher! The view extends far into four provinces and you can see Steenwijk beautifully from here. The fortified town of Steenwijk formed the heart of various sailing routes in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The city walls and city canals are a feast for the eyes. You walk back along the Rams Woerthe park, which belongs to the villa of the same name.
