Peace and nature
Discover the green riches around Almelo: an environment where tranquility, water and Twente hospitality come together.

Nijrees Forest
Deciduous forest
The Nijreesbos, south of Almelo, is an extensive nature area of approximately 1000 hectares. In the forest, deciduous forests, arable fields and open grasslands alternate, and it forms a home for roe deer, several species of bats and woodpeckers.
Almelo Water City
Water city
Almelo is not just any city: it is a real water city. Thanks to its location at the crossroads of land and water, the waters of the river Aa, old streams and historic canals run right through the center.
