Irresistible Twente

Between the Dinkel and Regge rivers lies a land—our fair and industrious Twente... The regional anthem already hints at what you’ll discover during this cycling holiday: fast-flowing streams, rolling fields with golden-yellow grain, and purple-red heather, to name just a few. You’ll stay at the charming hotel ‘Droste’s Herberg,’ which features an excellent restaurant. If you opt for half-board, you’ll know exactly what to look forward to after a day of cycling: a delicious meal.

Four beautiful day tours

Twente is just as irresistible by bike. Four routes will take you to the forested Springendal Nature Reserve, the medieval town of Ootmarsum, Oldenzaal with its impressive St. Plechelmus Basilica, and even across the border to Uelsen in Germany. Along the way, there are plenty of memorable stops—such as the Benedictine abbey of Het Stift, the 14th-century Herinckhave manor, the Kroezenboom (one of the oldest trees in the Netherlands), and the Bels Watermill with its cozy terrace and mouthwatering pancakes. Yet another reason to indulge.

Prickly Chair

Museum Het Palthe-Huis in Oldenzaal is housed in a historic building, right behind the market square. One object in particular draws attention: “The Chair of Huttenkloas.” This torture chair was used in the 16th century to force confessions from murderers. The seat was covered with nails, and an iron belt was strapped around the victim’s waist—such was the fate of Klaas Annink. A botched robbery led the impoverished Klaas, who lived in a turf hut, to commit murder. He then had to sit on the “prickly” chair for 110 days before confessing. That was in 1755. He was later broken on the wheel—the most severe form of execution at the time.

Art and Atmosphere

In Twente’s art town par excellence, you’ll walk the streets in wonder. Where’s the litter? Where are the weeds between the cobblestones? One conclusion: the locals love their Ootmarsum. The town dates back to the 13th century, and you can still feel that historic charm. Admire the stepped gables and enchanting alleyways, pop into the art galleries, and settle down at one of the many inviting terraces. They’re so welcoming, you might find it hard to get back on your bike.

Springendal Estate

Over a hundred years ago, textile director Jannink purchased the Springendal area. This centuries-old agricultural landscape was transformed into an estate with many English-style features. The medieval arable fields were lined with trees, and a network of lanes, waterways, springs, and streams was created. Bubbling spring water formed three ponds, which in turn feed the Springendal stream.
