Description
In the east of Twente you can enjoy beautiful nature areas close to the German border. This route takes you through the most beautiful parts of this area, in the Netherlands and a bit over the border in Germany.
From the Lutterzand to the Gildehauser Venn
The first part of this route takes you through the Lutterzand. This nature reserve consists of a rolling landscape with forests, sand drifts and heathlands on the banks of the river Dinkel. From here you cross the German border in the direction of the town of Gildehaus. The location of this village on the border with Overijssel has ensured that many Dutch people have settled here. So it is quite possible that you will hear people speaking Dutch to each other here. Then you head towards the nature reserve Gildehauser Venn, where you can enjoy marshy forest areas. Then you cycle back into the Netherlands to cycle back to the starting point of the route via Losser.
Restaurant & Country Estate Florilympha
At the end of the route you can settle down at Restaurant & Buitenplaats Florilympha. Here you can replenish your energy supply in the middle of the woods with a cup of coffee and cake, a lunch or a dinner. From here you can also follow route 489245.
Old traditions in Losser

Every last Saturday of the month there is a nice Farmers' Market that is worth a visit.
