Description

The official Pieterpad is not for everyone. This long-distance route largely runs on paths on which you can only walk, but perhaps you prefer cycling rather than walking. We have a solution for that: the Fietserspad, a cycle route that roughly follows the path of the Pieterpad, but on roads where you are allowed to cycle. Stage 3 takes you along stages 10, 11 and 12 of the Pieterpad.

Lemelerberg nature reserve
The starting point of this stage is at Hotel & Restaurant Wildthout on the outskirts of Ommen. Start your day here quietly or immediately get on your bike and hit the road. From Ommen you set course for Nieuwebrug and then on to Lemele. Along the way you cycle through the Lemelerberg nature reserve. Enjoy peaceful heathlands, deciduous forests, sparkling springs and drifting sand plains in this nature reserve just outside Lemele. In spring and autumn you could easily come face to face with the flock of sheep that graze here.

De Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park

From Lemele you cycle further via Hellendoorn and Nijverdal. Then it is time to get acquainted with the De Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park, one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in Overijssel. From the hills in this park you can enjoy beautiful views over rolling heathlands and further cycle through lush forests.

The terminus in Laren
Then you cycle via Holten to Laren. This village was probably founded around the 13th century. Around 1650 the village received a chapel, which was replaced in 1835 by the Church of Laren. The village is mainly known for the many estates, castles and country houses that you will find there. Here you can take a look at Huis Verwolde, a nobleman's house from 1776. The country house is now turned into a museum. Hotel Landgoed Ehzerwold, just outside Laren, is the end point of this stage.
