Cycle path along the Weluwemeer, easy to ride.

The cycle path always runs along the water of the Veluwemeer, sometimes unfortunately right next to the road and often covered by bushes and hedges. There are always bathing bays

Beautiful sandy beach that invites you to swim

Very nice, small, sandy beach with an adjoining bar. The port entrance to Stadshaven is on the north side of the small island.

Beautiful cycle path on the edge of the Veluwerandmeer, here with its small islands.

Just wonderful to ride along the water on the well-kept bike paths.

According to folk tales, there used to be a monastery here, where dark practices took place... The abbot and the monks who lived in the beautiful monastery did not take the pious life very seriously. They drank gallons of wine, gorged themselves during meals and organized meetings with witches and ghosts. Together they danced until it became light again. This went on for a long time. The monks partied, drank and enjoyed life. Until, sometime in the Middle Ages, a stormy Christmas evening put an end to the wicked excesses in the forest. Suddenly, local residents heard a huge lightning strike. The next morning a little boy passed by the site and discovered that the entire monastery had disappeared into a large hole in the forest. All that could be seen were some uprooted trees around the site, the brick path that was the access road and a deep hole.

The legend of the Solse Gat The Solse Gat is a mysterious place in the middle of the Veluwe. In the old forests near Drie there is a large hole in the middle of the forest, the Solse Gat. Geologically speaking, the Solse Gat is a relic from the Ice Age. The name probably came about because the Germans used it as a place of worship for their sun god Sol. The most exciting story is the legend of the sunken monastery: According to legend, where this hole is today there was a large monastery with many towers. This was an ugly, dark place; the chief and all the monks had sold their souls to the devil. In the middle of the night a black mass was held with all the witches and ghosts from the area. The villagers heard the most terrible noises. This lasted until a stormy Christmas night centuries ago. The monastery disappeared into the ground with a huge clap of thunder. All that remained was a gruesome pit. Since then, if you listen carefully, you can hear the monastery bells ringing hoarsely around midnight. Some even see a blue glow rising from the hole. Fortunately, when the sun rises, it seems as if nothing has happened. The dancing trees together with the Solse Gat form a beautiful picture. You can sit on the benches at the Solse Gat and ponder all the exciting stories. Sources:ermelobuitenleven.nl/verhalen/de-legende-van-het-solse-gat beleven.org/verhaal/de_legende_van_het_solse_gat
