You can start at any connecting point.

The hamlet of Oele is home to the characteristic Watermill Oldemeule, built in 1690. A must when taking a bicycle tour of Twente.

Visit the majestic Twickel castle, surrounded by a beautiful 10,000-acre estate near Delden. A harmonious interplay of nature and culture.
