Overijssel Road Trip: Heerde to Sallandse Heuvelrug (via Zwolle & N35)

This video captures a diverse drive across the province of Overijssel, transitioning from major highways to scenic provincial roads.

The journey begins on the A50 motorway near Heerde on the eastern edge of the Veluwe. The route heads north, crossing the impressive bridge over the IJssel River near Hattem, offering views of the river floodplain.

After navigating the outskirts of the provincial capital, Zwolle (around the A28/N35 interchange), the drive heads southeast into the Salland region. The scenery shifts from flat agricultural land around Raalte to the rolling, wooded hills of the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park. The drive concludes by passing through the beautiful forested area between Nijverdal and Holten (the Holterberg).
