Tour of Rekken, Lankheet and Haaksbergen

From Boerderijcamping De Beek you can easily drive across the border with Germany. You cycle past the Ammeloer Venn, a nature reserve with wet and rough grasslands where many birds live. You drive to Oldenkotte, a hamlet right on the border with Germany. Further on in Het Kip you will pass the Martyrs of Gorcum Church and the Piepermolen. You cross the Berkel, after which you drive through the mixed forests on the Lankheet Estate. There are old pine trees on the drifting sands. Haaksbergen is a cozy and picturesque town. On the Markt you will see the St. Pancratius Church. The history of this building goes back to the twelfth century. The last part of the route you cycle through the Buurserzand and the Haaksbergerveen, two beautiful and quiet nature reserves.
