You drive through the national parks of Sallandse Heuvelrug, Posbank and Hoge Veluwe, but also over beautiful winding dike roads along the IJssel.
I rate this route with 5*****Stars, because you drive on a mix of provincial and local roads (all paved). You drive through heathland, forests, over dikes, so enough bends to enjoy.

National Park the Posbank
You drive on a mix of provincial and local roads (all paved). You drive through heaths, forests, over dikes, the Hoge Veluwe, Sallandse Heuvelrug and Posbank. Enough bends to enjoy yourself. There are a number of ferries on the route. Along the route there are a number of options to take a break or to visit sights. A recommendation is Teuge airport, a good menu and nice surroundings to stop for lunch while watching sports planes, gliders and parachutists. At the airport there is also an Iljuschin IL-18 airfield that has been converted into a hotel and a North American fighter plane F-86F Sabre at the Skydeck.
Along the route you will see many beautiful castles and other monuments. There are also a number of museums that you could visit, a real recommendation for motorcyclists is a visit to the American Motorcycle Museum in Raalte. This American Motorcycle Museum (AMM) with its unique collection of American motorcycles from Max and Ans Middelbosch, opened its doors on April 30, 2004 in Raalte in Salland. The exhibited collection offers an extensive overview of American motorcycle history from the early 1900s to the 1980s and houses beautiful rarities. The neighbors have delicious apple pie and nice coffee.
Other interesting sights include Radio Kootwijk, a former transmitter park on the Veluwe, west of the town of Apeldoorn, which formed an important communication link between the Netherlands and its former colonies, particularly the Dutch East Indies, in the first half of the 20th century. It was built from 1918 onwards. Housing was also built for employees, which together formed the village of the same name. This monumental former transmitter station rises in the heart of the Veluwe, where the trees made way for an open area of heathland and sand shifts. The characteristic and imposing building in Art Deco style stands in the middle of a natural environment. There is space here for both relaxation and business meetings and events. For most people it is an imposing and characteristic building, for others a lump of concrete and unheimisch. It is a special piece of Cultural Heritage.
Nature reserve de Holterberg is a hilly area, which is part of the National Park Sallandse Heuvelrug. The Holterberg owes its name to the Overijssel village of Holten, which lies to the south of this area. In the north, this area borders the Haarlerberg and Noetselerberg. This nature reserve includes many heathlands that are alternated with extensive (coniferous) forests. You drive through a beautiful nature reserve here, keep to the speed limit and take others into account and enjoy nature.
The Veluwezoom National Park with the Posbank. Enjoy the beautiful winding roads and beautiful nature. Drive calmly, take into account others and the animals that can spontaneously cross. Be sure to stop for a drink and to enjoy the beautiful view. Please note that this Park is closed to motorized traffic on weekends and after sunset, so you will have to adjust the route and follow the N785 to Rozendaal, where you will rejoin the route, you will have to skip two Via points.
Staverden Castle and Estate is a very beautiful estate where you can relax on the terrace at the Brasserie with something tasty. This is a popular wedding location, so it can be very busy.
I like to drive this in the fall, because of the beautiful colors, leave early, because it is a long drive and with the approach route you are on the road all day. Also the Sallandse Heuvelrug and Posbank are closed after sunset.
Tip: drive it during the week, because it is very busy at the weekend and parts of the route are closed.
