Trip to Zwolle

Plan a day trip to cozy Zwolle. Zwolle has a beautiful historic city center with historic buildings, special hotspots and many nice cafes and restaurants. Visit the various unique stores in the city or discover the history of this Hanseatic city.

Salland Ridge

The Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park is unique. Here you will find the largest contiguous heathland area in northwestern Europe. This national park is 35 km2 large, so you will not easily get bored here. This is also due to the varied nature, from coniferous forests to moors and 'mountains'. Yes really, the Sallandse Heuvelrug even has several. The Archemerberg is the only non-forested mountain, giving you a breathtaking view of Salland, Twente and the valley of the Vecht from the top. Do not have too "high" expectations of this mountain, as its height is 78 meters. The heather is at its most beautiful at the end of summer, as it turns purple, purple, purple.
