The beautiful countryside of Haaksbergen

This route takes you from Hotel De Kastanjefabriek through the Twente countryside around Haaksbergen. First you cycle to Lankheet Estate. The history of this 500 hectare estate dates back to 1188! Here you can still see an old farm landscape with ash trees, hedgerows and coppice groves. Characteristic are the extensive forests with scattered heathlands. Further on, get off at the Oostendorpermolen from 1548, it is an idyllic spot. The Buurserzand nature reserve is a mosaic of heathlands with hundred-year-old juniper berries, forests and orchid meadows. Just across the border in Germany you drive past the Ammeloer Venn, a nature reserve with wet and rough grasslands. At Rekken you cross the Berkel river, and just outside Eibergen you can grab a terrace at Hof van Eckberge.
