Medieval Zutphen and its surroundings

Description

Beautiful and entertaining cycling route through forests, past castles, along streams, and finally via the dike above the Twente Canal to the IJssel.

Definitely stop for a walk through the historic center of Zutphen. A visit to the Walburgis Church and the adjacent Librije (medieval library) is definitely worthwhile.

Then cross the IJssel via the bridge and through the floodplains towards Brummen. Take the ferry (watch the sailing times!) and return to the Hackfort Estate via country roads. Along the way, there are plenty of opportunities to grab a drink on a terrace or enjoy a snack at a picnic table.
