This
miraculous statue is to be found just over the blue bridge in Dalfsen. This
bridge over the Overijsselse Vecht flows through a beautiful district with a
lot of country mansions and castles. Many of these are private property and
not open to visitors. |

Dalfsen itself has a small town-centre and most of the
attractions are only open during the summer season. In the Town-Hall, near
the blue bridge, you find an exphibition of the former Castle Gerner. During
my visit, it showed a very nice exhibition was on with objects school
children had made in connection with the history of the Castle. In the
Town-Hall six steps leads to the exposition area and you can take a lift to
the normal collection. Part of the collection is located in the basement, but
than you have to go down the stairs. |

Just outside
Dalfsen, over the bridge, over the track and to the left you find a sandy
track that leads to the Ice-making farm Hof van Millingen, During
summer you can taste the home-made ice and watch the video presentation. Going
over the bridge and then to the left, through a long lane, you come at the
Expo Madrid, which has nothing to do with Spain! It is a very large
restaurant with a hall exhibiting an enormous imitation of Rembrandt’s
Night-watch and changing exhibitions of paintings as well. Outside
is a small playground. |
