Tour of Haaksbergen and Ammeloer Venn

Your route starts at Camping de Blanken. From here you first drive to Landgoed Lankheet. The history of this 500 hectare estate dates back to 1188! Here you can still see an old farm landscape with ash trees, hedgerows and coppice groves. Characteristic are the extensive forests with scattered heathlands. You will discover the Haaksbergerveen, one of the most beautiful raised bog areas in the Netherlands. It is a mix of swampy raised bogs, vast heathlands, forests and grasslands. Just across the border in Germany you drive past the Ammeloer Venn, a nature reserve where many birds live. You will see many authentic Saxon farms here, such as in the village of Rekken. You drive back through a picturesque area with the Mallumsche Molen as its center, a monumental corn and peeling mill from 1748 on the Berkel river.
