From Hengelo to Enschede
The starting point of this Blauwnet walk is Hengelo train station, the perfect starting point for a walk through Overijssel. The route heads towards the east of the city, past the Carmelite Monastery. Nowadays this is used as a school building. Then you pass the Lonnerkermeer. Here you will find a special combination of lakes, streams, fens, forest and heathland with a rich variety of plants and animals.

Enschede Knowledge Park
After walking for a few hours in the beautiful nature, it is time to return to the city of Enschede. You enter the city via the northwest and walk towards Kennispark train station. The Grolsch Veste of football club FC Twente is located opposite. After this, you walk another 5 kilometers to the city center of Enschede, where Enschede train station is the end point of this route. So get on the train and travel easily to Hengelo with one of the Blauwnet trains and from there you can enjoy a carefree day outside.

Enschede
According to the most common explanation, the name Enschede goes back to 'An die Schede', which probably referred to a swampy border area. Enschede emerged in the early Middle Ages as an agricultural settlement. In the eighteenth century, the textile industry developed and Enschede grew into the most important center of textile production in the Netherlands.
