Green Zone around Enschede
Cycling through a captivating landscape adorned with lush forests, expansive heathlands, serene meres, historic country estates, and picturesque farming fields.
The Landscape
Enschede is nestled in the heart of a sylvan landscape, graced by stately estates, time-honored farms, and expansive nature reserves. In the outskirts of this largest city in Overijssel you will find an almost endless variety of marshy peatlands, hedgerows, ponds, sprawling heathlands, meandering streams, flower-filled meadows, undulating fields, and sandy pathways. In addition to a wide range of natural values, this landscape also contains traces of a once-thriving textile industry, a storied history of salt extraction, and ancient pathways once trodden by clandestine smugglers.
