At your leisure through the polders near Zwolle

Your cycling route starts at Hotel Mercure Zwolle. The first part of the route takes you over the dike along the Overijsselse Vecht. Further on, this river merges with the Zwarte Water. On the left is the river with its creeks and eddies, on the right are the polders that form a landscape. It is a flat, wide and sleek landscape with elongated parallel plots. Just along the Vecht you will pass Huize Den Doorn, a country house dating from the seventeenth century. Get off at junction 8 at De Stokte, a lookout tower of about 20 meters high for a beautiful view over the Vechtdal. In Dalfsen you can still see many old sights, such as the country houses Leemcule and Rutenberg. Back in Zwolle you can also fully enjoy the history.
