Voorst Village Church

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Picnic Area With Vendor Stall

Highlight • Rest Area

In this meadow you can take a seat on one of the picnic benches and relax during your walk. It is a cosy, atmospheric place where you can meet other walkers and enjoy your sandwich at the stall.

The entrance to a beautiful stretch of the only remaining tree dyke in the Netherlands. The dyke was used to fight back the water from the river IJssel during periods of flooding!

I have parked the village house in Voorst. The route can go in two directions. I turned left after the church and started there. Along the way you can also choose the direction you want to go. Asphalt and paths or meadows alternate. The signs were easy to find. A little doubt on one point, but it turned out fine. …

This klompenpad also ran wonderfully again, through various estates and over beautiful paths, had a coffee break at coffee & teahouse 't Momentje, a really nice place for a break and delicious homemade apple pie 😉

Very nice Klompenpad. Because of all the wetness, we opted for the western circuit of over 10 km.
Nice varied route.
Through meadows, across the Beekzicht estate, along the Voorster Beek, through forest, the occasional fen/lake, through the outskirts of Voorst and back through the meadows.
Exactly what I like 😀
