You cross the IJsselbrug and cycle west towards the Veluwe. At Empen it goes along a dead river arm, a paradise for birds and amphibians. You cross the Apeldoorns canal and reach the Veluwezoom. Then you cross the Vrijenberg along a deeply incised spring stream with two waterfalls. The Great Waterfall attracts a lot of attention in summer. Then it goes through the Loenense Bos to the Loenermark, a vast undulating heathland with sheep and Scottish Highlanders. You pass a castle near the villages of Loenen, Eerbeek and Voorstonden. You cycle back to the IJssel town of Zutphen over quiet rural country roads.
