546945 From Twente to Salland

You can take a varied cycling tour around Vroomshoop. You drive your legs loose in the former Twente peat area. You cycle along a characteristic peat canal, then you enter the bocage landscape of Salland. Stream and grasslands, groves and Saxon farms: the area seems to have been specially created for cyclists. Between nodes 73 and 70 you cycle on the old church path from Giethmen to Ommen. The charming drawbridge over the Regge is an icon. Further on you cycle through a number of wooded estates. Take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air. In Sibculo you pass the grounds of the former Cistercian monastery of the Great Galilee, which was built around the year 1400. You can visit a newly decorated monastery garden here. The route ends at De Johanneshoeve.

Sights

Cisterciënklooster Groot Galilea

109a
7693 PP Hardenberg

This abbey was built in 1403 on the spot where a marsh used to be found. In 1412 the monastery became part of the Cistercian order. During the Guelders Wars in the sixteenth century, the monastery was looted several times and a fire in 1523 also caused a lot of damage. In 1579, the Protestant religion was introduced in Overijssel, whereby all monastery was abolished. The buildings of this monastery then fell into ruins and the above-ground part of the monastery was demolished. The remains of the abbey can be found in the ground of the site near the village of Sibculo. In 2016, a monastery garden was set up on this site. This garden and grounds are maintained by volunteers.
