Cycling through Markelo and surroundings

Around Diepenheim, Markelo and Goor it is beautiful cycling. In this rural region you can enjoy the natural beauty and the charming old villages.

Markelo
From HertenHoeve De Lavei you cycle into the countryside. You cycle between meadows and fields, every now and then there is also a small forest plot on your route. In the friendly Markelo you have plenty of time to get off and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. You see characteristic farms, also the Martinuskerk from 1840 is a sight to see. Further on you cycle along the rolling forests that lie on and around the moraine of the Herikerberg.

Diepenheim
Also in the cozy Goor there are a number of beautiful buildings, such as the Hofkerk from 1600. Diepenheim Castle originally dates from 1180, the current manor house was built in 1685. A little further on is the monumental Johanneskerk from 1679. Then you drive through the sparsely populated fields. Enjoy the silence, that is relaxing. In Geesteren take a look at the Reformed Church that originally dates from the eleventh century. It is one of the few churches with a saddle roof.
