Elburg, Kampen and the Drontermeer

It is wonderful to cycle on the Drontermeer. You drive through new forests and a wonderful wide polder landscape. You will also pass through two historic towns: Elburg and Kampen.

Reve Abbertbos
The first kilometers are wonderful cycling through this relatively young nature reserve with its mix of deciduous and coniferous forest. In autumn, more than 500 mushroom species grow here! Unbelievable that a century ago the Zuiderzee was still here!

Hanseatic city of Elburg
In the old heart of Kampen you can effortlessly sniff up the history of this characteristic Hanseatic town. As in the French Walkate Archives. Further on you cycle along the banks of the Drontermeer to the fortress of Elburg, the Hanseatic city that once lay on the Zuiderzee. Take the time to look at the many beautiful historic buildings. Also note the characteristic cobblestone sidewalks, which are protected by Monumentenzorg, in front of some old houses!
