You cycle through the floodplains of the IJssel to Brummen. At Laag Soeren, you enter the forests of De Veluwezoom National Park, one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in the Netherlands. De Veluwezoom is made up not only of ancient forests but also heathlands, sand drifts, and country estates. Through the forest, you reach the Posbank, a huge, heath-covered terminal moraine hill. The heath is, of course, at its most beautiful in full bloom, but even in other seasons the Posbank impresses with its elevation changes and vastness. Winding through forests and heathlands, you arrive at the medieval Rosendael Castle. Here you leave Veluwezoom and cycle through the beautiful city parks of Klarenbeek and Sonsbeek in Arnhem to your hotel in the city center.
