Tour of Oldenzaal, Lutterzand and De Lutte

Your route starts at Pannenkoekhoes De Stroper. You cycle through a park-like landscape, where trees and easily accessible paths adorn each other and where hills give the landscape an extra dimension. The highest point in the province of Overijssel is located nearby: the Tankenberg, part of a moraine, 85 meters above sea level. Nature suddenly changes drastically in the Lutterzand. Sand drifts, heathlands and forests with birches and oaks that are intersected by the Dinkel. This ancient river winds its way through the Lutterzand and moves half a meter every year, pushing through the sand. The steep banks along the stream serve as a nesting place for the sand martin. Due to the special composition of the Lutterzand, the area was designated as a geological monument in 2007.
