Cycling through the Twente forests and heathlands

Between Enschede and Haaksbergen you cycle through several beautiful nature reserves. First you cycle a bit through the Aamsveen where heathland and poor grassland predominate. Then you cycle through the rural area along the border with Germany. What is immediately noticeable here is the peace. From junction 80 you cycle through the Witte Veen, a little further on you come through the Haaksbergerveen. These two areas once formed, together with the Aamsveen, a large raised bog area that extended into Germany. Now you cycle through an open landscape with damp heathlands. In the Buurserzand you will find dry drifting sand, heather and gorse. The last part of the route you cycle along the natural edge of Enschede.
