More walking routes through Kampen

Although there are several hiking trails to walk, they all have at least one thing in common: they bring you piece by piece along the most special sights. For example, consider the Stedelijk Museum where you can admire a beautiful art collection. Or step into the authentic cigar factory 'De Olifant' once. The cigars are still made with 19th-century machines here. And that is a typical thing for Kampen, because around 1880 almost half of the Kamper population worked in the tobacco industry!
