From whichever side you approach the village of Voorst, the slender spire of the Dorpskerk can always be seen.

The Dorpskerk, built years ago on the edge of the village, was and still is the center of village life.

Beautiful and varied walk in the triangle Bussloo, the IJssel and Voorst.

Departed from the parking lot at the St. Martinus church in Bussloo. Then via the De Poll estate towards the ruins of the castle Nijenbeek and the Nijenbeek pumping station. Then to Voorst and the Beekzicht estate. Finally back through the De Poll estate.

Beautiful route, still gray and dull, due to the season, when it gets a bit greener this is a very nice walking route, and we will definitely come back.

We start the walk on quiet asphalt roads through the farmland to the IJssel. The agricultural cultural landscape here is fairly small-scale due to the many hedges that line the fields and meadows. We walk directly along the river for a while, but …

Start from nature campsite Haverkamp (Komoot started km later 😄🤷 ♀️). Typical beautiful Gelderland landscape and country estates.
We cut off some pieces (don't cross the N-road 🤫🤦‍♀️).
