Walking through Enschede parks and through Roombeek

This route takes you to a number of parks of former textile manufacturers. You pass through the GJ van Heekpark from 1918. Through a leafy corridor you walk to the adjacent Lochemsbleekpark, after which you pass a giant sequoia in the Abraham Ledeboerpark. Further on you walk through Roombeek. From the end of the nineteenth century a flourishing textile industry developed here. Partly because of this, Enschede could even call itself the second largest textile city in the world, after Manchester. You pass De Museumfabriek, just before junction A13 you pass the modest monument for the fireworks disaster that took place here in 2000. Then you walk a bit along the Museumlaan with its exclusive city villas designed by international architects. Finally you pass the Rijksmuseum Twenthe. The route ends at IntercityHotel Enschede.
