There is a path along the entire Berkel, so you can walk from Zutphen to Billerbeck in Germany. There is a special website for this: berkelpad.nl On the website you will find the route in 12 stages. An accompanying booklet can also be ordered.

View of the White Drawbridge over the Berkel

Highlight • Bridge

This white drawbridge used to be closer to Almen, where the Spitholder Bridge is located. When that bridge was widened, this white drawbridge was moved.

Boardwalk Through the Kienveen (Velhorst Estate)

Highlight • Trail

The narrow but sturdy decking path is not very long, but it ensures that you keep your feet dry during wet periods. The decking path is only accessible during the day.

Velhorst Estate

Highlight • Historical Site

Natuurmonumenten has leased its land on the Velhorst estate to an organic farmer. They work here in an organic way and contribute to the restoration of the small-scale agricultural landscape. You walk past vegetable gardens, fields and with a bit of luck you see the Bonte Bentheimer pigs rooting in the earth.
