Deventer and Zutphen, pearls along the IJssel 52.5

In the IJssel valley you can fully enjoy the peace and the varied nature. You are the first to drive through the old farmland of the Wilpse Klei. A beautiful floodplain landscape with old farms on mounds. Soon you will pass Nijenbeek Castle. This intact gelding is a rarity in the Netherlands. Hanseatic city of Zutphen still has one of the best preserved old city centers in the Netherlands! In the outskirts of Gorssel you drive on low-traffic roads through a mosaic of forests and farmlands. Further on you will find Deventer, the second historic Hanseatic city on this route. Get off at junction 61 on the banks of the IJssel. You have a magnificent view here. The route ends with a terrace at De Kribbe. to eat. drinks. to enjoy.
