Tour of Bentelo, Beckum and Haaksbergen

Your route starts at Spoolder Proeven & Proosten. Via the countryside of Boekelo and Beckum you cycle to the varied landscape of Twekkelo, the green lung between Hengelo and Enschede. This route also goes to the Wissinkmolen in Usselo. Wissinks Mol was demolished in 1972, after which the loose parts were stored. After a years-long battle over the reconstruction site, it was rebuilt at its current location in May 1981. In one day. In this authentic farming landscape, of course, the beautiful Saxon farms are not missing, you will come across a number of them. Further on you will pass Het Rutbeek, a natural recreation area of 120 ha with forests, water features, meadows and recreational facilities. The area was created around a sand quarry. Nice to get off for a while! You cycle back via Haaksbergen.
