Kozakkenhaven in Veessen, located at Veesser Enkweg 16, is a quiet parking area right on the IJssel River. This is where your exploration of the expansive river landscape of the eastern edge of the Veluwe begins.
Interesting to know! The name “Cossack Harbor” refers to the period in 1813 when Russian Cossacks landed here during the liberation of the Netherlands. A piece of hidden history in a setting of peace, space, and riverside nature.
🚶🌲 From the harbour you can walk straight into the Veessense floodplains: a dynamic nature reserve where birds breed, cattle graze and the water has free rein.
🚴 The location on the IJsseldijk is also a perfect starting point for cyclists who want to follow the dike route towards Hattem, Wijhe or Welsum.
🚢 From Veessen you can easily reach the Kozakkenhaven, where you can enjoy the view over the IJssel and the boats.
🅿️ This small village on the IJssel River is accessible via the IJsseldijk, a road that runs from Heerde to Wapenveld.
