An E-bike route from city to city

Make sure your battery is fully charged, because this route of over 66 kilometers through the Twente landscape. Get to know typical Twente small-scale in Ootmarsum, where the industry did not get a grip on and which still has an old, nostalgic city center, but during your trip you will also come across beautiful places outside the built-up area with a rich cultural history.

One of those places was one of the most powerful manors in Twente, strategically located at the intersection of the Deventer-Osnabrück trade route and the Bornsebeek. Weleveld was founded around 1300 and was easily accessible for traffic by land and water due to its location. This contributed to the economic status of the manor. After excavations at the end of the nineteenth century, the old canal system was restored. Huis Weleveld has thus regained much of its former glory.

Also very special is De Eeshof castle. The oldest part of the beautiful house in Tubbergen dates from the eighteenth century and above the door you can see the year 1719. The wing that has been added has two stones with coats of arms that indicate 1780 and 1786. The second floor was added to the building in the nineteenth century and is therefore considerably younger.

Lovers of painting can also stop by the Ton Schulten Museum. His world, his way of thinking, his vision and his quest can be found in his works, but the museum has more than just paintings. Beautiful documentaries shed light on the painter of Consensism, and changing exhibitions by national and international guest exhibitors always bring something new.

Hotel Jachtlust is the starting and ending point of the bike tour. If you want to enjoy the peace and quiet of Twente for longer, book a stay there. The hotel is also the base for routes 181757 and 181756, so after a good night's sleep and a delicious breakfast, you can get back on your bike to explore another part of the Achterhoek.
