Our Neighbourhood

Twente is ideal for cycling and walking nice and welcoming little villages spread out in a softly glowing landscape. There is an extensive route system with a lot of beautifull spots to visit. Little art villages like Ootmarsum, Diepenheim or Delden organise special events, festivals and markets in the summer. Ensched is a dynamic modern city where you can shop or visit nice museums like "twentse welle" (www.twentsewelle.nl) Bad Bentheim with its powerfull medieval castle and Nordhorn Zoo are just across the border.
Deventer and Zwolle are old hanseatic towns just 40 mins away
