Hanseatic tour Deventer - Zutphen

Via mainly free-lying cycle paths and winding dikes, you cycle with this route along one of the most beautiful rivers in the Netherlands: the IJssel. A river that brought wealth and prosperity hundreds of years ago thanks to its connection with the open sea and the German hinterland.

You start in Deventer. This Hanseatic city on the IJssel has something lively, frivolous and also something Burgundian: life is good there! A vital city with a monumental atmosphere, where you can relax and with a beautiful environment. Deventer is not only one of the oldest cities, but also an event city - because of festivals such as Deventer op Stelten, Dickens Festijn and the Book Market - and has also been hospitable for centuries.

Your turning point is in Zutphen, the quirky shopping city of Zutphen. Trendy shops, monuments and new museums such as Stedelijk Museum and Henriette Polak set the tone in the Hanseatic city of Zutphen. Just like the museums, authentic and quirky shops are located in monumental buildings. A city you have to experience!
