The municipality of Oldenzaal is located in National Park Northeast Twente, which has an ash landscape. An ash (also called eng or enk) is a high-lying field, found on sandy soil. The oldest plots of ash trees in this area date back to the first millennium AD. Small-scale landscape with many wooded banks, but also large plots of forest and the presence of many fens and streams, are characteristic of this area. A beautiful wide and rolling area with many opportunities for agriculture, recreation and tourism. Cycle past Landgoed Scholtenhaer-Rhododendronlaan De Lutte near Oldenzaal, cycling between the huge rhododendron hedges that are at their most beautiful from the beginning of April to the end of June when they bear beautiful purple flowers. The estates Het Hakenberg and Egheria, with the Tankenberg, the highest mountain in Overijssel, are also on the route. From the Tankenberg, you can see all the way to Germany on a clear day, but it's a bit of a climb. Water and woods can be found at both Het Molenven and Het Hulsbeek. Of course, you can also get off your bike and see something else. Get off at the Saint Plechelmus Basilica, for example, or at the protected village site Het Stift. In one day, you will discover all the beautiful spots in this area and Oldenzaal itself.
