Two borders route near Losser

Your route starts at TOP Driland, just across the border in Germany. Go for a swim or rent a rowing boat to explore the nearby lake with its sandy beach. This route takes you through the border region near Losser and past Oldenzaal. Oldenzaal is adorned by a park-like landscape where hills give the landscape an extra dimension. The Tankenberg is part of the Oldenzaal moraine and is located 85 meters above sea level: the highest point in the province of Overijssel. You can easily cycle back and forth across the border - centuries ago people here did no different. The Tödden, hannekemaaiers or kiepenkearls used to trade along the Handelsweg between the German Bad Bentheim, Losser and Oldenzaal. Carrying heavy baskets, they walked hundreds of kilometers along the Trade Road in search of earnings.
