A tour around the Engbertsdijksvenen

Just before Geesteren you pass the Grote Geesterse Molen, a corn mill from 1867. The Engbertsdijksvenen is a vast peat area with heath, forests and fens. It is a remnant of the large peat swamp that once covered the northeast of the Netherlands. Feel free to dismount and admire the natural beauty at your leisure. Cycling is wonderful in the old Twente cultural landscape of rolling fields, groves and fields lined with hedgerows. The slower you drive, the longer you enjoy the invigorating tranquility of Twente. In the Mosbeek Valley, the natural beauty is still carefully cherished. And rightly so, because the area looks magical. You regularly see a characteristic Saxon farm and half-timbered barn.
