(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Station ZwollePass-by Only
Zwolle Station, This station is an important transport hub and has a beautiful historic building that was originally opened in 1864. In the 20th century, the station underwent renovations to accommodate the growing number of passengers. The facade and roof are particularly impressive, and the statue of Thorbecke stands there. This statesman and founder of Dutch parliamentary democracy was born in Zwolle on 14 January 1798. I Thorbecke is very important to the Netherlands. He not only shaped the political structure of the state, he was also responsible for various infrastructure projects that helped the Netherlands move forward enormously.
Zwolse BalletjesPass-by Only
Zwolse Balletjes have been the unique and authentic sweets of Zwolle since 1845! In that year, Mr. J. van der Kolk started producing them. He did this in the steek bakery that he installed in the basement of the monumental building of a former grocer. The steek is the name of a traditionally made sweet, cut out of sugar dough. The steek baker made the first black steeks from cane sugar, because at that time sugar beets were not yet grown in the Netherlands. The black cane sugar steek was mainly used to sweeten coffee and tea. After the arrival of sugar beets - and therefore granulated sugar - the steek was called the Zwolse Balletje. The original, secret recipe has not changed and the Zwolse Balletjes are still traditionally made by the steek bakers in the basement of the Zwolse Balletjeshuis.
Grote of St. MichaelskerkPass-by Only
The Grote Kerk, located on the Grote Markt. This 15th century Gothic church, also known as the Sint Michaëlskerk, has beautiful stained glass windows and an impressive Schnitger organ.
