Description

Around Vriezenveen you can take a beautiful bike ride through the former peat area of northern Twente. You drive through varied landscapes, along the way you pick up a museum where you learn more about the regional mining history.

Valley of the Mosbeek
The route starts at Bistro Festa. Enjoy a drink and snack here before you drive to the mining villages of Kloosterhaar and Langeveen. Gradually you will see the landscape change and the wide Twentse Hooilanden make way for the rolling valley of the Mosbeek. A stone's throw from each other you pass two special water mills from 1725: the Molen van Bels and the Molen van Frans. You imagine yourself back in time here.

Peat Museum
Further on you drive back into the authentic farmer's landscape of the Twentse Hooilanden. How wonderfully quiet it is here! You pass through Vriezenveen, a village whose inhabitants traded heavily with Saint Petersburg between 1720 and 1917. Veenmuseum Het Vriezenveense Veld is a unique small-scale outdoor museum. Here you will learn more about life in the time of the peating in North Twente (1850-1950). Finally, you will pass the Engbertsdijksvenen, a unique nature reserve.
