Train cycling: from Hengelo to Enschede

Carmelite monastery
This cycling route begins at Hengelo train station . You'll cycle through the city center to the Carmelite Monastery. Not so long ago, monks lived in the monastery and taught at the school. Now, students from De Grundel Lyceum attend classes there. You'll leave Hengelo east of the city and head towards the countryside. Along the Lonnekermeer lake, you'll follow the route towards Twente Air Base. You can take a detour to Lonneker for a cup of coffee at Café Sprakel on Dorpsstraat.

Kennispark train station
You'll cycle south through Zuidkamp in a zigzag pattern. Then, head west again, along the water, to Kennispark train station. Perhaps you'll still have time to explore the energy-neutral cycle and pedestrian path that connects Kennispark train station to the University of Twente. Along this path, you'll be surprised by innovative and experimental high-tech elements. From there, it's just a short distance to the end of the route: Enschede train station.
