From Zwolle along the Vecht to the source in Darfeld, Germany. From there, a short route back to Zwolle. I intended to cycle in 3 stages of about 120 km each.
The first part is the National Bicycle Route (abbreviated LF16-route), a diverse 245-kilometer bike route between Zwolle at the mouth of the Vecht and Darfeld (Germany) at the sources of the Vecht. It's impressive to see the water bubbling up from the ground there, which later forms the river Overijsselse Vecht.
This trip was taken on July 19, 20, and 21, 2021, on a racing bike. There are some gravel and bad bike paths in between, but the experience is amazing.
