Description

In the triangle between the Vecht and the IJssel and below Zwolle you will find plenty of space and peace. You pass picturesque villages, estates, forests and heathland. You are on the border of the IJsseldal and the Vechtdal. Already in the Middle Ages, several weterings (canals) were dug in this area to prevent the land between the rivers from becoming wet.

In Laag Zuthem you cycle a few kilometers up the Nieuwe Wetering. In the spring the banks bloom and the young ducks float on the calm water. A wonderful view from the bike. Laag Zuthem is tiny, cozy and has beautiful historic farms. For more fun on the water, go to the Wythmenerplas. The recreational lake is located on the main road from Zwolle to Raalte. Clear water, marked swimming areas, an extensive sandy beach and green sunbathing lawns invite you for a day of water fun. So if you have a warm day and feel like going for a dip, put some swimwear in your bag.

You cycle towards De Vecht via the town with the exciting name Mataram. Mataram Estate owes its name to its first owner, JM van Rhijn, former resident at the court of the Sultan of Mataram. He named the country estate he purchased after the country of Mataram in the former Dutch East Indies. You can enjoy lovely walks on the estate.

You just cross the Vecht opposite Dalfsen. This branch of the IJssel winds its way through the beautiful landscape. On this side of the Vecht river valley, in the hamlet of Millingen, is the special Edelmans house Den Berg from the beginning of the eighteenth century. It is a so-called havezate, a fortified farm, formerly inhabited by nobles.
You will find many estates with manors in this region. They give the landscape an old stateliness that makes you sit straighter on your bike. The rooms of beautiful country houses can often be rented for parties and parties 'on stand'. 

The country estate of Den Alerdinck is also a beautiful example of a chic manor. The entire site consists of a castle with a 3 kilometer long moat, coach house, farms, orchard, farmlands, gardens and forests. You can enjoy the atmosphere, luxury and grandeur of yesteryear in complete privacy for private or business purposes.

The Alerdinck connects to the Colckhof estate and is located south of Laag Zuthem.
