The charm of Zutphen and surroundings

Your route starts at Hotel & Brasserie Bosrijk Ruighenrode. Here you drive straight into the Grote Veld. This extensive nature reserve with its quiet forests offers you many kilometers of cycling pleasure. Then you drive into picturesque Vorden. This village is known for its castles, but there are also other beautiful monuments to see. You can see even more cultural history in the old center of Zutphen. Thanks to the many spires, this Hanseatic city has a historic skyline. On the other side of the IJssel you cycle through the Voorster and Wilpse Klei: extensive floodplains where old farms are still located on mounds. You also pass the ruins of Nijenbeek Castle from the thirteenth century. Charles III of Guelders wanted to control shipping on the IJssel from this castle.
