From Ootmarsum to Egheria

Your adventure begins in the picturesque town of Ootmarsum, known for its charming streets and rich history. From here you can set out to discover the beautiful Twente region. Meander along the river Dinkel and admire the Schuivenhuisje Tilligte and the water mill at the Singraven estate along the way.

Brave the Hakenberg for beautiful views of the mystical landscape. You will also find a viewpoint at the Paasberg, where you look out over the woods, pools and fields with wild flowers and corn. This hill is steeped in history and myths. According to legend, pagan rituals used to be performed here for the annual spring festivals.

The absolute highlight is the special nature reserve ebb quiet area Egheria, located between Oldenzaal and De Lutte. This estate used to be owned by the textile baron Ten Cate. He named the estate after his four sons: Egbert, Hendrink, Richard and Arnold.

The high Tankenberg of no less than 85 meters high is the heart. From the family's former tea house at the top, you have a magnificent view of this beautiful, but above all, quiet nature reserve. The only thing you hear here is the rustling wind through the trees, the chirping of the birds and the babbling of the streams.

Via the edge of Oldenzaal you follow the nodes through the leafy bocage landscape back to Ootmarsum.
