Go on holiday in Overijssel and discover this province!
In the province of Overijssel – which is known for, among other things, Grolsch beer – you can make various trips to enjoy during your Overijssel holiday. The province has beautiful nature reserves and beautiful cycling paths. The province has two national parks: the Weerribben-Wieden and the Sallandse Heuvelrug. Here you can enjoy walking and cycling. Furthermore, Overijssel also has several cities that are more than worth a visit. Take authentic Deventer, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. You can also visit the capital of the province, Zwolle, during the Overijssel holiday. The cities of Enschede and Almelo are located in the Twente region.
Almelo is a beautiful city where you can still find old Dutch culture, such as at the Weverhuisje. Here the volunteers wear old-Dutch clothing, in which they are happy to give you a tour of the farm, which is located in the heart of the city center.
In both summer and winter, the province offers plenty of opportunities for a sustainable holiday in Overijssel. For example, there is a delicious vegan lunchroom in Deventer: Sync-OK. At Sync-OK you can enjoy vegan cakes or lunch, but it is also possible to order food here. This is then delivered by a bicycle courier.
Another fun outing that fits into a sustainable holiday Overijssel are the national parks. As mentioned earlier, Overijssel has two: the Weerribben-Wieden National Park and the Sallandse Heuvelrug. The Weerribben-Wieden forms the largest peatland area in Northern Europe! The park has various special animals and plants. Otters have been living there since 2002 thanks to the good water quality. National park De Sallandse Heuvelrug is also a special piece of nature. It has beautiful heathland and a lot of biodiversity. At the end of 2019, a young wolf was even spotted! Because of the difference in height you can look out over the vast landscape.
Looking for a sporty activity during your weekend trip to Overijssel? Check out the climbing forest AvaTarZ. You will find a low and a high climbing course here, so that every age (from 6 years) can take a nice climbing route. In addition, the climbing forest offers the AvaTarZ expedition, which you can participate in with a large group or company. During this expedition, inspired by the television program Expedition Robinson, you will play different games.
During your holiday in Overijssel you can choose from a wide range of outings. One of the Overijssel outings worth visiting is Giethoorn. This city is known as Dutch Venice and is characterized by the many bridges and waterways. When you go to Giethoorn, it is best to book a boat in advance. Giethoorn is best admired from the water. Although it can be quite busy with tourists in the summer, it is a lot quieter in the low season. If there is ice in the winter, then skating under the bridges of Giethoorn is certainly one of the best outings in Overijssel.
Because there is so much to experience during a sustainable holiday Overijssel, it is advisable to book a week away from Overijssel. You can perfectly alternate the beautiful nature and cities. For example, it is nice to visit the old city of Deventer, which you can see beautifully when you walk along the IJssel. It is therefore recommended to visit a place where you have this beautiful view.
When you book a week away from Overijssel, it is also nice to go to Zwolle – another city along the IJssel. Zwolle has a canal that runs around the city. In Zwolle there are also a lot of fun things to do, such as a day trip with the children to Dinoland, or to the Museum de Fundatie, where you can admire visual art.
