The Route

The largest circle of Twente - An incredibly beautiful journey through the Twente landscape. Wind along the Dinkel, conquer the ridge near Ootmarsum, and greet the Tukkers around Enschede and Almelo. Enjoy in the garden of the Netherlands!

An iconic loop, hand-plotted to perfection into a super fun, bike-friendly route full of beautiful highlights — and a unique circle on the map. 🚴‍♂️✨

To put this rondo on the map, immerse yourself in the Twente coulisse landscape — an endless patchwork of hedgerows, stream valleys, forests, and ash trees that you won't find as pure anywhere else in the Netherlands.

In the north, you wind past the mystical Mander Circles and dive into the enchanting Springendal, where the Valley of the Mosbeek takes you through one of the most beautiful stream valleys in the country. Heading east, you touch the Dinkel — the meandering border river that has created its own little kingdom here — and glide past the drifting sand area of Lutterzand and the Baggersee Bardel. The absolute highlight follows shortly after: the wooden path along the Dinkel, a unique passage that literally takes you through the heart of this river landscape.

Through the vast Aamsveen and the rugged peat areas of the Witte Veen and Buurserzand & Haaksbergerveen, you head west, where the Twente land shows its gentlest side. The stately Weldam Castle and the Herikerberg mark the transition to the hilly west, with the forests of the Borkeld and the charming Pelmolen Ter Horst as a conclusion for the homeward journey via the Grimberg and Recreation Area Het Lageveld. After 127 km on the pedals, you reach the point where you started. The circle is complete!

Narrow straps? That works perfectly! The route is entirely on paved roads, with about 4 km of gravel.

Gravel bike? Then take the gravel variant of 145 km with extra unpaved sections through the forests, stream valleys, and hedgerows of Twente.
