Hi Christina, it didn't process all the images in the video. Is this normal, or did I do something wrong? ❣️❣️❣️

At km 32.4, there's a nice restaurant.
Shortly after that, there's another small restaurant selling ice cream. See also the photo on the route map.

Tour from a collection of the County of Bentheim, with start/finish changed to the parking lot in the Kurpark in Bad Bentheim. Top cycling route with a few "height meters".

A beautiful route, although the paths were quite poor in places up to Gildehaus. After that, it was a really nice walk, even though the rhododendrons had already faded.

Very nice route from Bad Bentheim to Oldenzaal. A bit tricky in Oldenzaal because we had to find a new route because of a cycling race. Lutter Zand is always beautiful. In the end we skipped the town center of Bad Bentheim and took the main road because we thought it would be very busy in the nice weather.

We also rented this tour from the superbly planned tours from “Moments of happiness in the county of Bentheim - best satisfied”. We can only recommend it.

3rd day
We slowly got used to the heat.
Nevertheless, we decide to cycle mainly through forest areas and have chosen Oldenzaal in the Netherlands as our destination.
A good decision. Oldenzaal is a beautiful city with nice places to stay.

On the way to set foot in the Netherlands. A very successful first part with new discoveries, about mills and the making of artisanal bread. A lovely little living museum with the opportunity to buy fresh bread baked before our eyes. Then, a visit to the town of Oldenzaal and the market with a tasting of the different Gouda cheeses. …
