Walking through Ootmarsum and surroundings

From Oud-Ootmarsum you walk over the sloping essen to Ootmarsum. In this atmospheric village you will see many beautiful buildings and you can visit a number of nice museums, before you make another loop through the Twente countryside.

Twente silence
First you walk up the gently sloping Oud-Ootmarsummer es. You will see meadows and fields here, but also small plots of forest, hedgerows and stream valleys. Walking on an unpaved path you will experience the typical Twente silence. You won't have any trouble switching back here!

Open Air Museum Ootmarsum
After a while you walk into Ootmarsum. You pass the park Engels Tuin, further on you pass the Mill of Oude Hengel from 1872. The Open Air Museum Ootmarsum takes you to the Twente of the past. In a park-like environment you can see 18 authentic buildings here. The center of Ootmarsum has retained many of its historic buildings, what a nice atmosphere! At the Educatorium Ootmarsum you can learn more about education in the past.
