A first series of Hanseatic towns we find in the IJsselvalley. The town of Deventer is our start town. During the first part of the route we visit a number of Hanseatic towns along the rivers, a.o. Venlo and Cologne. A nice flat route through the valleys of the Maas and Rhine. But it doesn’t stay that flat, after Cologne we’ll leave the Rhine Valley and cut through via a number of beautiful natural parcs to Braunschweig.
To make it all a bit easier there will be a staffed control at the junction in or near Braunschweig. Here you can sleep and use our drop bag service. Until the supply point there is no difference between this 1200 and the 2100km variant.
From Braunschweig, all routes then cross Bremen, Oldenburg, Groningen and Zwolle. We choose the easy way back, through flat country.
