Heino: Salland Village Near the Overijsselse Vecht
Country estates and woodland patches dot the landscape around Heino, remnants of the landed gentry who shaped this part of Salland. Huize Vilsteren and Landgoed Den Alerdinck are among the estates open to walkers. About 8,300 residents live in the village, part of the gemeente Raalte, roughly 12 kilometres south of Zwolle.
The Overijsselse Vecht river curves north of Heino, and the recently restored Vecht floodplains provide wetland bird habitat and flood management capacity. The village centre has a compact layout around the Dorpsstraat, with a Reformed and a Catholic church reflecting the region's mixed religious history. Commuters reach Zwolle in fifteen minutes by car; a direct rail connection is absent.
