Welsum is located in a special part of Overijssel, not on the east but on the west bank of the river IJssel. In this way enclosed between Gelderland and the IJssel, it is a particularly remote part of the Netherlands (where it is really dark at night). The nature house is located on a hectare of nature garden on the ancient Erveweg, amidst forest plots, meadows and orchards. It is about a 10-minute bike ride to the rustic IJsseldijk, which winds along the IJssel River between Zwolle and Deventer. The area is ideal for rural cycling and walking, for example with the dog (who is also welcome in the cottage). With the ferry you cross the river to Olst. On this other side of the IJssel lies the forest and castle-rich Salland. The inspiring cities of Deventer and Zwolle are nearby. For daily shopping you can go to surrounding villages such as Olst, Epe or Terwolde. Heading west, the Veluwe is nearby.
