Great nature reserve

What a great ride.
The Dutch just have it 😀
We started from a shady parking lot south of Enschede.
And then 40 km almost exclusively through great, car-free landscapes and moors.
Highly recommended for following in dry weather.

This varied tour takes you through Groot Brunink, Witte Veen, Haaksbergen Veen and Buurserzand.
You pass two water mills. There are plenty of rest points along the way.
Have fun cycling.
