Tour around Lochem

You start the route at Woodbrooke Barchem. Today you will make a nice round around Lochem. Den Bramel Castle originally dates from the fourteenth century. The current country house was built in 1726. In the forests of Het Grote Veld it is wonderful to cycle between the fragrant conifers. How quiet it is here! On the seventeenth-century estate de Velhorst you will find not only forests but also fields, stately lanes, farmhouses with painted shutters and wooded banks. Near Groot Dochteren you can take a look at Huize't Ross, a beautiful monumental country estate. The history of Huis Ampsen goes back to 1105. The first castle and both houses on the estate were destroyed by the Spanish in 1605. In Barchem you pass the Dutch Reformed Church, a beautiful monument from 1861.
