Hanseatic city of Zutphen, the IJssel valley and Veluwezoom

First you cycle through the IJssel valley. A beautiful cycling region thanks to the open landscape and the quiet roads. On the other side of the river you cycle through Zutphen. This Hanseatic town still has one of the best preserved old city centres in the Netherlands! South of the city you cycle right along the IJssel, the mighty river that brought the Hanseatic cities their wealth. Via Brummen you cycle to one of the listening points of the Liberation Route, L24: Bridge to Freedom. Here you learn more about the retreat of the Germans from Dieren. And then it is time for National Park Veluwezoom, a hilly area where you can fully enjoy the silence, while cycling between the coniferous and deciduous trees. The route ends at Holiday Village de Jutberg.
