Watermills and Neighbours

Your route starts at Boerderijappartementen & Camping't Katreel. Along the edge of Haaksbergen you cycle to Landgoed Lankheet. The history of this 500 hectare estate goes back to 1188! Here you can still see an old farm landscape with ash trees, hedgerows and coppices. Characteristic are the extensive forests with scattered heathlands. You will also pass beautiful spots such as the Oostendorper Watermolen, a double water wheel mill on the Buursebeek. The original Oostendorpermolen was built in 1548, this one dates from 1950. The Haaksbergerveen is one of the most beautiful raised bog areas in the Netherlands. You will see a mix of marshy raised bog, vast heathlands, woods and grasslands. You cycle back through the picturesque area around the Mallumsche Molen, a monumental corn and hulling mill from 1748 on the river Berkel.
