Enjoying a holiday in Twente means enjoying the quietness and beautiful, unspoilt nature; the well-known typical landscape called “coulissenlandschap” with its wooded banks, babble streams, the Dinkel River, pastures, authentic woods, old cities and villages. The landscape is traversed by many cycle- and church paths. Twente is a hospitable district where old traditions are inextricably bound up with every day life. Taste the atmosphere and experience the cosiness. Enjoy all the good that Twente and its residents have to offer you. You’re only a short distance away from Germany. We highly recommend you to visit Bad Bentheim, Nordhorn and other typically German villages close to the border. In the close area of Denekamp you will find the museum Natura Docet, the observatory, the old fortified town of Ootmarsum, the Rijksmuseum of Enschede and the estate of Singraven. These are all worth a visit. Right behind our holiday park is the canal from Almelo to Nordhorn, which is no longer used for shipping. The boats have been replaced by beautiful water lilies and it now is an important breeding area for birds. If you’re lucky, you might see some rare plants on the verge, like the heather-carnation and the odoriferous nachtorchis. Only 100 meters away is the German border. Just a little further up the canal, in Germany, you’ll find a full lock from the early days of the canal. Time seems to stand still there.
