Cycling route Stokkum and Markelo

First you cycle into the woods at the foot of the Herikerberg. A wonderful start to a route that is mainly about nature and tranquility. You drive to Stokkum on cycle paths and car-free roads. Part of this town enjoys a protected village view. When you drive along the Stokkumerweg, you will understand why: thanks to the beautiful old farms, it feels like you are cycling back in time. Further on, the route takes you along the Schipbeek. This river originates in Germany and flows into the IJssel near Deventer. Just before junction 20 you cross the Bolksbeek: a watercourse that forms the border between Overijssel and Gelderland. In Markelo you pass De Hoop, a beautiful flour mill from 1839. The route ends at Holiday Park Buitencentrum Hessenheem.
