The IJsselbrug has two fairly narrow lanes and a cycle path. Today, the bridge is still an important connection for road traffic, although since 1976 the southern Cortenoeversebrug has taken over the function for through traffic between Dieren and Lochem. Parallel to and directly next to the bridge is the IJsselspoorbrug for train traffic between Zutphen and Arnhem / Apeldoorn.

Voorst Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Voorst lies between the Veluwe and the IJssel in one of the most beautiful areas in the Netherlands. Vast floodplains, stately farmsteads and charming villages, and above all: the river that meanders through the landscape. This is the IJssel valley! Here you can enjoy kilometers of cycling routes over the dike.

Very beautiful shortcut over and along the Voorster Beek

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice and quiet and very beautiful rural, no cars on the asphalt path (also nice). A very nice shortcut from the Kafoepstraat over the Voorster Beek and along. The asphalt path part of this stretch is narrow. That makes passing a bit more difficult. Also pay attention to walkers.

Cortenoeversebrug

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The cortenoeversebrug connects two beautifull areas. With the Veluwe on the west and the Achterhoek on the east crossing this bridge will cause a change of scenery.

You can create stunning routes by crossing the Ijssel in Zutphen and coming back via either Doesburg or the bridges near Arnhem.

I'm not a big fan of the bridge itself because it always seems to be windy..... but the views are great since it's a pretty tall bridge you have a great overview of the area.
