Discover Zuna: the Regge, cycling routes and culture

Zuna reveals its distinctive character along the Regge. The river flows through the village, offering visitors views of the river and opportunities for water-based recreation. The area around Notter and Zuna is known as “Midden Regge”; between 2010 and 2014, measures were taken there to restore the Regge to its natural course. Notter and Zuna developed along the Regge’s meandering landscape and have been situated on sand ridges and sand knolls along the river since the Middle Ages. When choosing a holiday apartment in Zuna, you can consider this connection between water, landscape and history as an important focus when planning your trip.

Regge experiences and routes for your days away

The Regge allows you to experience Zuna from different perspectives. In Zuna, you can explore the Regge by electric boat. The EMS Reggestroom excursion boat is also used for round trips on the Regge in Zuna. If you prefer to travel along the riverbank, the marked Ommetje Zuna circular walking route follows the bank of the Regge and returns to its starting point at the Zunabrug. This allows you to combine water and walking routes in the local landscape, without every day of your holiday having to revolve around the same focus.

There is also a specific option for cycling tours: the Smaak en Vermaak Notter - Zuna cycling route is 34.6 km long and has a stated duration of 2:18 hours. It passes through the open cultural landscape and along the village of Zuna. The combination of distance, stated duration and landscape helps you plan your preferred pace for the day. The water excursions, circular walk and cycling tour can therefore be viewed as different focuses for your days away.

Holiday apartment in Zuna between local history and landscape

The Grimberg walking route follows the Regge, passing through a varied cultural landscape to the remains of the castle and introducing you to the hamlets of Zuna and Notter. At the nearby Havezate Grimberg, the entrance gate, moat system and park landscape can still be recognised; nothing remains of the old castle itself. The contrast between the visible traces of the estate and the absent castle building gives this section a particularly vivid historical character.

The farmhouse at Zunaweg 10 has a thatched and tiled roof, a rear onderschoer, an upper room, six-paned windows with shutters and a draw well. The small farmhouse at Slagsweg 1 has a thatched hipped roof, a sliding window with glazing bars and shutters, as well as a barn with a tiled hipped roof. Such specific details complement the impressions of the routes and river landscape with Zuna’s visible architectural heritage.

Regional specialities from Zuna

Zunakaas is also part of the area’s local character. At the neighbouring Zunakaas cheese dairy, traditionally made raw-milk farmhouse cheese is produced from fresh, untreated milk. The Twentse Boerderijwinkel Zunakaas sells farmhouse cheese, dairy products, meat and other regional products. For those who value regional food when planning their trip, this provides another specific point of reference for a stay in Zuna, alongside the Regge, cycling routes and cultural history.
