Tour of Vriezenveen, Vroomshoop and Geesteren

This route takes you to several villages in the Twente peat area. First you go to Vriezenveen. At junction 44 you pass the former town hall. The Historical Museum Vriezenveen is located in this building. You will learn more about local history here, such as the fire in 1905 that destroyed a large part of the village. Along the Overijssels Kanaal you cycle to Vroomshoop, a reclamation village that was officially founded around 1850. A little further north you come through Geerdijk, on the canal you can see, among other things, the Roman Catholic village church from 1868. From junction 3 you cycle along the Engbertsdijksvenen, a remnant of the large peat bog that once covered the northeast of the Netherlands. Via Geesteren you cycle back to B&B Sagenland/De Huiskamer van Sagenland.
