Voorst

Voorst is a municipality in eastern Gelderland comprising several villages, with Twello serving as the administrative hub. The area encompasses farmland, woodlands, and water features that shape the character of each settlement across the region.

The area emerged from medieval times as farmland with the church in Wilp representing one of the earliest religious structures in the region. Agriculture shaped the development of the various settlements over the following centuries.

The municipality reflects its roots in farming and rural life, which continues to shape how locals spend their time and celebrate together. This connection to the land shapes the character of the villages and the way people relate to the landscape around them.

The municipality features a well-connected network of cycling paths and walking trails linking all the villages together. The flat terrain makes navigation simple and encourages exploring by bicycle or on foot.

The area includes several small lakes and water bodies that serve as recreational spots and wildlife habitats throughout the landscape. These waters shape the terrain and provide quiet places for observation and outdoor activities.
