The Regge flows through Zuna, shaping the area with river views and opportunities for water-based recreation. There are also trails along the riverbank and through the open cultural landscape, historical traces at Grimberg, and farmhouses with distinctive architectural features. Cheese-making and regional products are also among the things that set Zuna apart. Those planning a stay can therefore explore the area through a range of interests: water, activity, landscape history, or farming culture.

Water experiences on the Regge

Visitors can explore the Regge by electric boat. The excursion boat EMS Reggestroom is used in Zuna for river cruises. This means visitors can choose between exploring by electric boat and taking a trip on an excursion boat. The Regge also offers river views and opportunities for water-based recreation.

On foot: a circular walk or hiking route

The signposted Ommetje Zuna circular walk follows the banks of the Regge and returns to its starting point at the Zunabrug. The Grimberg hiking route has a different focus: it leads to the remains of the castle and introduces visitors to the hamlets of Zuna and Notter. It also follows the Regge and passes through a varied cultural landscape. The difference lies both in the destinations described and in the route: the Ommetje returns to the Zunabrug, while Grimberg takes in the castle remains and the two hamlets.

Cycling through the cultural landscape

The Smaak en Vermaak Notter - Zuna cycling route passes through the open cultural landscape and along the village of Zuna. It offers a distinct way to experience the landscape: its route takes in open spaces and the surrounding area. Together with the walking trails along the river and through the varied cultural landscape, it shows how Zuna can be explored on foot and by bicycle from different perspectives.

A river landscape steeped in history

The area around Notter and Zuna is called Midden Regge. Between 2010 and 2014, measures were taken there to restore the Regge to its natural course. The hamlets’ origins are also connected to the river landscape: Notter and Zuna developed along the Regge’s meandering landscape. The name Midden Regge and the history of the two hamlets offer different perspectives on the past, while the river remains the defining feature of the landscape.

Grimberg and historic farmhouses

At the nearby Grimberg estate, the entrance gate, moat and parkland are still visible; nothing remains of the old castle itself. The historical traces therefore include several parts of the estate and parkland. Two farmhouses also offer distinctive architectural details. The house at Zunaweg 10 has a roof covered with thatch and tiles, a rear onderschoer, an upper room, six-pane windows with shutters, and a draw well. The small farmhouse at Slagsweg 1 has a thatched hipped roof, a sliding window with divided panes and shutters, and a barn with a tile-covered hipped roof. The roof shapes, windows and other features make the differences between the two houses clear.

Cheese and regional products

At the Zunakaas cheese dairy, artisan raw-milk farm cheese is made from fresh, untreated milk. The Twentse Boerderijwinkel Zunakaas offers farm cheese, dairy products, meat and other regional products. Cheese production and the range of products are two distinct aspects of the farm’s offerings, adding a culinary dimension to the landscape and cultural themes.
