We had actually planned to ride around Nijmegen, but due to the low water, no ferries were running. We simply took a tour from @Kathehub. The weather after the heatwave was wet/cool, but pleasant. Zutphen and Deventer are indeed beautiful old Hanseatic cities.

Today with a lot of sun drove a great tour from Deventer to Zutphen, two cities in the Netherlands that are worth seeing.
Deventer is a beautiful and cozy Hanseatic city in the province of Overijssel. A visit to Deventer is always worthwhile because of the historic city center and the unique river landscape.

After yesterday's long tour, we wanted to take it easy today.
Right in the early morning, we were able to enjoy a very special breakfast. Then we cycled into Zupthen.
Once through the shops and strolling through the market.
We cycled along the IJssel to Deventer.
We liked it so much there that we stayed for five hours.

A wonderful day of cycling to and walking in Zutphen with lunch on the IJssel with a view of the bridge. Back in Deventer, a review concluded on the quay terrace on the IJssel.

...
My wet sleeve and the raindrops repeatedly triggered 'ghost inputs' on the Garmin's touchscreen and paused the recording (for next time, the touchscreen will be locked in rain and with long sleeves!😁😇😊).
Luckily, @Wetho also recorded the tour and thus saved the track!

Nice tour, mostly along the IJssel. Zutphen has a very beautiful old town, many small shops, many cafes, and today was market day. We bought coffee in a shop, from Cuba and Nicaragua... the shop was set up the way it was 100 years ago. The coffee we were served was almost on par with Willi's coffee 😂

Went according to the Fietsknoop numbers. It worked out perfectly. Back not so good due to road works and closures. The places to stop for refreshments on the way there were still closed. Great cycle paths, some with rest areas. Varied landscape.
