CYCLING AND WALKING THROUGH TWENTE

From our hotel in the heart of Almelo, the Gravenallee leads walkers and cyclists straight into the Twente countryside. There, after about one and a half kilometres, the typical Twente countryside unfolds. The Twente countryside has many faces. After every bend, a new panorama of heathland, woods, meadows and hills unfolds. In this charming landscape, there are old villages and towns where cyclists and hikers are warmly welcomed and can enjoy Twente's hospitality and delicious regional dishes.

With a cycle route network of more than 1,000 kilometres, you can mark out endless cycle routes. Using the many junction routes, you will always get back to your starting point. Some of the beautiful cycling routes below from our partner route.nl. are ready for you at the reception of our hotel. Did you know you can scan the QR codes of these routes with your smartphone? That way, you take a personal guide with you in your pocket!
