Description
Two old Hanseatic cities lie like pearls on the water along the IJssel: Deventer and Zutphen. In the countryside you cycle through a mosaic of meadows, fields and forests.
Beautiful Zutphen
Cycling along the dike you can enjoy the beautiful view while getting a breath of fresh air. You pass the Bolwerksmolen, a sawmill from 1863. You cross the IJssel with a ferry, after which you drive into the Ravenswaarden. This unique nature reserve is one of the best preserved Dutch meandering values. Then the old center of Zutphen awaits you. You will find plenty of monuments and nice museums here.
Historic Deventer
In Warnsveld you can stop at Museum De Opkamer for a look back in time. Via Gorssel you drive to the second Hanseatic city on your route: Deventer. There is plenty to do in the historic city center. On the tree-lined Brink you can see De Waag, a beautiful museum from 1531. At the Grote Kerkhof you can see the old town hall and the Lebuïnus Church. What a wonderful atmosphere!
