Hills, meadows, lakes, hayfields, heathland and historic farms complete the picture. Around 1920, Springendal was purchased by the Enschede textile baron Jannink. He gave the centuries-old agricultural area the appearance of an estate with many English features. The medieval essen (bolakkers that grew higher and higher due to fertilization) are, friendly bordered by trees, incorporated into the whole. There are also a number of fantastic Twente farms. Springendal has a structure of lanes and water. In addition to the monumental Mosbeeklaan, on which a number of side lanes end, the character of the estate is determined by springs and streams. Bubbling water forms three ponds, which in turn feed the Springendalsebeek.
