Ootmarsum: hotspot for cycling enthusiasts

While Twente's cities followed the pace of the nations due to industrialization, Ootmarsum retained its historic character. You will also find many nice galleries here. After a cup of coffee at Hotel Cafe Restaurant De Landmarke, you cycle past the Molen van Bels, a picturesque watermill from 1725 where an exhibition about Overijssel windmills can be seen. Just before the German border you drive past the largest landscape art project in the Netherlands: the Mander Circles. In the Springendal, nicknamed the 'Garden of the Netherlands', you can indulge in a romantic experience with the beautiful ponds and narrow streams in the middle of the forest. Where else can you find that silence? Around the corner, in the Dinkeldal through which you cycle. Stop off at the characteristic seventeenth-century East Dutch manor House in Breckelenkamp!
