Zwolle - June 23

Next on my agenda was the city of Zwolle, about 20 minutes by train from Amersfoort. 



This is another amazing historic city. The old city is surrounded by a star-shaped moat...










and there is another wonderful city gate, built in 1409. Again, I look at this and marvel: how did they do it? 

Seen beside the moat and with all the greenery, it truly looks like something from a fairy tale.







The tower here is called The Pepperbox




There is a pretty decent tower here, too, and this one was open and ready to climb. So I made my way up the 236 steps to the top, where I was rewarded with a marvelous view.




Inside the church was quite beautiful too
