Episode synopsis
Huub starts his journey along the IJssel in Westervoort. Farmers also have to deal with the vagaries of the IJssel. The Reijers family, for example, has been running a farm on the IJsselkop since 1875. The journey continues past beautiful country houses and castles. Middachten Castle is the biggest pearl. Here Huub has a special meeting with count and countess zu Ortenburg. Huub ends with Doesburg's pride: a delicious mustard soup.
About Langs de IJssel
In Langs de IJssel, Huub Stapel follows the IJssel, the most idiosyncratic river in our country. It does not flow from East to West like other rivers, but towards the North. Huub investigates the role this river plays in the landscape, its history and the lives of the people who live on its banks.
