The Treasure Hunter
On his journey along the IJssel, Huub arrived in Hoog-Keppel. Until 1983, dozens of residents of Laag- and Hoog-Keppel worked in the iron foundry: the most dirty work you could do. In Dieren, Huub visits the largest walled vineyard in the Netherlands. This is the domain of the Gelderland nobility, but also of "de Oranjes", Dutch royalty. The old pumping station in Bronkhorst has been given a special new purpose. Joost Wolters' grandfather worked as a manager of the pumping station, which is now a gallery. In Zutphen, attention is paid to the Walburgis Church, which contains the oldest library in the Netherlands: De Librije.

The Dreamer
Huub pays a visit to Baroness Van Lynden, who years ago inherited an estate with a 13th century ruin - De Nijenbeek - from a distant relative. One of the oldest cities in the Netherlands is located on the IJssel: Deventer. Bert van Marwijk grew up there and he talks about his connection with the Deventer football club Go Ahead Eagles. The IJssel flows through the life and books of Jan Terlouw. He recites a poem about the river.

The Indestructible
Huub crosses the IJssel with the Cossack ferry. Forest ranger Jeroen den Hartog shows Huub the protected nature reserve of the Duursche Waarden. And Huub visits the Sluiter brothers, whose farm had to make way for the water of the IJssel. In the Zwolle floodplains, the band Tangerine brings a musical ode to the river. The village of Zalk became known for a striking woman: Klazien uut Zalk. She will have her own museum.
