Hiking

The imposing Sint-Walburgiskerk has towered over the historic centre of Zutphen for centuries. With its Romanesque-Gothic architecture, impressive 76-metre tower and rare chain library – the Librije – this national monument breathes history. Inside, you will find a rich collection of art treasures and a famous baroque organ that is still played.

The Walburgiskerk (also called Walburgkerk; German Walburgiskirche) is the main church of the city. The oldest part of the church dates from the 11th century. The present building dates mostly from the 13th century; the church has had its current appearance since the 16th century. Until 1261, the Walburgiskerk was Zutphen's only parish church. Since the conquest of Zutphen by Maurice of Orange in 1591, it has been in Protestant hands. At the church there is a library from 1561, one of the few surviving chain libraries in Europe. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walburgiskerk_(Zutphen)

Hiking

Zutphen has a great old town with lots of old buildings.
There are small cafes and shops everywhere with that certain Dutch flair.
Sit down with a cup of coffee and watch the hustle and bustle of the people pass by.
