Cycling Route Salland and Luttenberg
Cycle through a green and open Salland landscape of raised fields, quiet country lanes, elegant country estates and the surprising heights of the Luttenberg.
The Landscape
In the expansive farming landscape around Raalte, you cycle through fields, meadows and farmsteads, with hedgerows and tree lined lanes giving the scenery a natural rhythm. Canals, drainage channels and ditches shape the land pattern and enhance the sense of peace and open space that defines Salland.
The Luttenberg gives the route a distinctly different character, with noticeable elevation changes that stand out in this region. On and around the ridge, the landscape shifts from open farmland to woodland edges and patches of heath, interspersed with small fields. Winding paths and quiet lanes bring gentle climbs, while the higher points offer wide views across the Salland countryside.
