The best road cycling routes around Isselburg

Many animal species, which particularly delight children's hearts.

A nice excursion spot for the whole family.

The Oude IJssel (because that's what the Issel is called here) meanders beautifully along here, before the Aa-Strang flows into the Oude IJssel a few hundred meters further on in Ulft.

RESTAURANT VAN HAL The Van Hal Restaurant in Voorst (Achterhoek) was founded in 1905 as a café by Jannes van Hal next to the grain mill built in 1866. The brand became famous for its "half chickens," introduced in the early 1950s by Riek and Frans van Hal, of which more than 1 million have now been sold. A large bronze rooster sculpture stands as a symbol next to the entrance. 1905: Johannes (Jannes) van Hal obtained a license to sell spirits and opened a café on the grounds of the farm and mill. 1950s: Riek and Frans van Hal began serving their famous half chickens. 1958: This success led to official recognition as a restaurant. 1952: After the mill closed, and 1964: after the bakery closed, these premises were added to the restaurant. 2017: Owner Caspar van Hal (grandson of Riek and Frans van Hal), Grensweg 13 in Voorst, is still known today for its friendly Achterhoek atmosphere, and the famous half-chickens are still on the menu. Van Hal is a classic example of an Achterhoek restaurant that originated from a farm and a mill.

After being damaged in the war, it was dismantled in 1957 but rebuilt and renovated in 2010.

VOORST GRAIN MILL In 1866, Willem Stapelbroek had a grain mill built near his farm, "Klein Immink." His son, Bernard, was the first miller. In 1899, Johannes Hermanus (Jannus) van Hal took over the mill and married Stapelbroek's heiress that same year. The mill was severely damaged in the war in 1945 and subsequently shut down. Milling continued in the adjacent barn using electrically powered millstones. After the now dilapidated mill was further damaged by a lightning strike in the 1950s, the cap and sails were removed for safety reasons. Following the establishment of the "Grain Mill Voorst" Foundation in 1999, the first steps toward restoring the mill were taken. On November 27, 2010, the restored mill was officially reopened by Trees van Hal-Knaven and Bertus van Hal, the great-grandson of Willem Stapelbroek.

The Brüggenhütte is a popular meeting place and a popular destination with a lovely beer garden. It is located directly on the Aa River and on the border with Dinxperlo, Netherlands. The hotel is open daily, the restaurant only on weekends or by appointment. Restaurant: Opening hours Fri + Sat 5 pm - 11 pm and Sun 10 am - 11 pm. HISTORY: From the mid-18th century, a customs post was located at this site at the Aa Dam. All iron ore deliveries outside of the "Herrlichkeit Anholt" (Herrlichkeit Anholt), for example, to the Liedern St. Michaelis Ironworks, as well as the return deliveries of pig iron, were subject to customs clearance. The so-called bog iron ore was found in large quantities in the fields in our area as rocks. This was the era of foundries, including the Isselburger Ironworks (around 1794).
