Hattem
A small Hanseatic town near Zwolle, where a dike gate, windmills and a bakery museum make up a quiet old town.
Hattem is a small Hanseatic town on the west bank of the IJssel. Its old town retains sections of city wall and a dike gate (Dijkpoort). The town has the medieval St. Andrew's Church, an old courthouse, mills and a bakery museum that can be visited, plus an art gallery honouring a local painter. It sees far fewer visitors than Zwolle, making it a good half-day bike trip from Zwolle. The surrounding area is the northern edge of the Veluwe forest, which has many cycling trails through the woods.
