LF3-2 Hanze Town Route (Hanzeroute)
Once a busy trade route with Germany, now the IJssel is a friendly meandering river - the LF3-2 takes you along the river dyke to the historic Hanze towns of Kampen, Zwolle, Deventer and Zutphen.

Ships sailing up the river laden with precious goods, traders selling their merchandise in the busy harbours - the historic Hanze towns along the river IJssel remind you of the region’s rich trading past which reached its golden era in the 15th century. Cycling along the dyke, you can enjoy the wide views over the winding river and floodplains.
The Hanze Town Route is the middle section of the LF3.
