Walking through beautiful Twente

In the vicinity of Nutter in Twente you can leisurely walk through tranquil stream valleys. This route takes you over the Hezinger and Nutter Esch and through the Hazelbekke nature reserve.

Ashes and streams
The route takes you through a gently rolling landscape where fields on the ash alternate with groves and meadows. Everywhere you experience that surprisingly pleasant Twente peace and conviviality. In the Hazelbekke stream valley, the once cleared hedgerows are being restored to their former glory. In this small-scale cultural landscape you will find meadows and swamp forest complexes containing rare plants such as wild orchids, gold leaf and small valerian.

The mast
Soon after your departure you will walk past De Mast, an overhead watermill on the Vasserbeek. This beautiful building has been used as an oil and corn mill since the fifteenth century. It takes its name from Jan Mast who bought the mill in 1811. Along the way you will also see some old farms.
