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.

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. (Source: Information sign at the mill; www.korenmolenvoorst.nl) 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.

By far the most beautiful connecting road between Holten and Nijverdal. If you time it right, you can cycle here with minimal traffic. The Nijverdalsebergweg and Holterbergweg, which run through the National Park, are closed to motorized traffic from November 1st to March 16th, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 AM, and from March 16th to November 1st, from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM.
