Beautiful paths, very beautiful castles. It's a shame that some of them are not so accessible. Thanks for the tour, @Hermann

- Beautiful 🌞 through the Netherlands with 👪
- With breaks and delicious fast food in Eetwinkel Vorden (very tasty for fast food and freshly made with a nice side salad)
- unfortunately Followme was not packed, so the little one had to drive everything by herself, so it was a bit shortened at the end

Today was a very nice bike ride. Thanks to Hermann for the tip. We started in Ruurlo in great summer weather and cycled through a beautiful landscape with many avenues and dense forests past old, very well-kept mansions to Voorden and back.

June 20, 2025,🇳🇱 Achtkastelenroute Vorden und Haus Ruurlo

Another very beautiful tour, although you have to be careful not to cycle past the country estates. The signposted cycling route doesn't necessarily lead to the castles. I've added Ruurlo Castle. Why the most beautiful castle was omitted from the cycling route is a mystery to me.

A truly beautiful, fully signposted bike ride!
The 630 meters of elevation gain on this completely flat route (I don't even remember a bridge) are, of course, nonsense :)
