Hiking
Did you know that there are not one, but actually two Twente channels? Because of the branch to Almelo, this canal is often spoken of in plural. Ideas to dig a canal for a better supply of raw materials for Twente, known for its textile industry, emerged in the 19th century. The canal was also intended to serve as a route for the supply of coal from the Limburg mines. The actual digging of the canal did not begin until decades later, in 1930.
