Overijssel
Overijssel is bordered to the north by Friesland and Drenthe, in the east by Germany, to the south and west by Gelderland and Flevoland in the northwest. The province is largely flat and a combination of nature and historical towns. The river IJssel had played an important role for many centuries. The province owes its wealthy Hanseatic past to the river. Experience the glorious past of Hanseatic towns, such as Deventer and the capital city Zwolle. The city centres offer a fascinating mixture of history, monuments and traditions. A visit to Giethoorn, the Venice of the North is a must.
