Cycling routes in Overijssel

Cycling routes in Overijssel take you through a province where nature and culture constantly alternate. You ride through forests and gently rolling heathland, past green meadows with hedgerows, and through country estates with stately manor houses. Overijssel often feels small scale and peaceful, with lovely views and routes that invite you to pause along the way.

From Twente you discover the region’s classic patchwork countryside, while the Sallandse Heuvelrug surprises with heathland and forest on higher ground. In Salland you cycle through a dynamic river landscape and past centuries-old country estates that add extra character. In De Weerribben Wieden you ride along reed beds, waterways, and quiet nature. Along the way, Hanseatic towns, traditional Saxon farmhouses, and castles add a rich cultural layer to every ride in Overijssel.
