Enjoy sun, wind and water & delicious fresh from the region!

Discover the IJsselvallei, a vast area between the forests of the Hoge Veluwe and the river IJssel, with Lake Bussloo in the heart of the region. Along the way, taste the delicacies that the region has to offer. Local residents have created three cycling routes for you, which, like the IJssel river, meander through the beautiful landscape. There are many fun and tasty treats to enjoy along the way. There is a route for cyclists from Apeldoorn, Deventer and a route from Zutphen. The routes are on average 45 km long. You can of course also combine them and cycle a longer route.

Leave the forests of the Veluwe behind you and see how wide the horizon is in the green meadows near Apeldoorn and Klarenbeek. These were once swamp forests with alders and willows. Discover a varied area with villages, small farms, estates, but also surprising catering establishments such as Huize Bloem or cafĂ© De Kar. And don’t forget to taste a delicious sausage at the Dijk43 pig farm. Along the way you can take a walk in the Beekberger Forest, the last primeval forest in our country. Have fun!

Please note that there are also companies mentioned with beautiful regional products that are not directly on the route, but are worth stepping off the route for a while, and then of course continuing the route as described. If you want to get off the route, read more here:
