Zuna: The Regge, Routes and Cultural Landscape

The Regge flows through Zuna and shapes both the landscape and the ways to explore the area. Visitors will find river views and opportunities for water-based recreation. Riverside paths, trips on the water and routes through the open or varied cultural landscape offer different perspectives. This lets you plan your visit to Zuna around specific interests: from the river, on a marked circular route or by bicycle through the cultural landscape.

The Regge from the water and riverbank

You can explore the Regge in Zuna by electric boat. The EMS Reggestroom excursion boat is used in Zuna for river cruises. On foot, the marked Ommetje Zuna offers a different perspective: the circular walking route follows the banks of the Regge and returns to its starting point at the Zunabrug. A boat trip focuses on the Regge from the water, while the Ommetje links the riverside path and the return to the starting point in one loop.

Routes through the cultural landscape

The Smaak en Vermaak Notter - Zuna cycling route is 34.6 kilometres long, with a stated duration of 2 hours and 18 minutes. It passes through the open cultural landscape and along the village of Zuna. The cycling route therefore has both a specific distance and a stated duration. By contrast, the Ommetje is described as a marked walking loop along the riverbank that returns to the Zunabrug.

The Grimberg walking route follows the Regge and passes through a varied cultural landscape. It also leads to the remains of the castle and introduces visitors to the hamlets of Zuna and Notter. Its route thus connects the landscape and historical traces with the two named hamlets.

Landscape and history

The hamlets of Notter and Zuna developed along the meandering landscape of the Regge. The area around Notter and Zuna is called “Midden Regge”. Between 2010 and 2014, measures were taken there to restore the Regge’s natural course. The Regge is therefore not only a reference point for today’s routes, but also part of the landscape history of the two hamlets.

At the nearby Havezate Grimberg, the entrance gate, moat and park landscape are still discernible; nothing remains of the old castle itself. This distinction separates the visible elements of the estate from a surviving castle building. The Grimberg walking route leads to castle remains, while the description of the Havezate identifies other recognisable features of the historic estate.

Architectural details

The farmhouse at Zunaweg 10 has a roof covered with thatch and tiles. Other features include a rear onderschoer, an upper room, six-pane windows with shutters and a draw well. The details therefore cover the roof, interior, windows and other features of the house.

The small farmhouse at Slagsweg 1 has a thatched hipped roof. It is also described as having a sliding window with divided panes and shutters, as well as a barn with a tiled hipped roof. For this house, the specifically named details include not only the dwelling but also the barn’s form and roof.

Cheese from Zunakaas

The Zunakaas cheese dairy makes artisan raw-milk farmhouse cheese from fresh, untreated milk. The nature of the milk and the method of production are closely linked to the named cheese product.
