E-bike route House Verwolde

Your route starts at Herberg De Pot in Markelo. The fairytale vistas in the coulisse landscape near Lochem are wonderful to discover by bike. Through the wooded banks, hedges, farms, fields and streams, there is something new to see around every bend. Estates and castles are the gems in this beautiful landscape. The stately building Huis Verwolde was first mentioned in 1346. It was conquered in 1505 by Duke Charles of Gelre, who had it thoroughly fortified. In 1510, the castle was destroyed by an enemy. Later, the current castle was rebuilt in a simple form. The castle is open to the public and serves as a museum. The route takes you past two more fun places to stop: Wijngaard de Nieuwe Baankreis and Beleefboerderij de Kleine Carrousel.
