This almost 50-kilometer round takes you to cultural and culinary highlights on German and Dutch soil. From Nordhorn it goes to the beautiful Vechtesee, which is worth circumnavigating. Then you drive on the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal to the lock at Frensdorfer Haar on the border with the Netherlands. A little later,…

The 2nd day of the tour 🇳🇱 "Hallo Niederlande" 🇳🇱. Past the historic lock at Vechtesee, the bike tour leads along the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal to the Frensdorfer Haar lock – the border to the Netherlands. Shortly before Denekamp, we pass the famous ice cream parlor "De Ijskuip" 🍨 and the Hennie Kuiper Cycling Museum 🚴‍♂️. It was still a bit …

A very nice route from Nordhorn. A bit of town at the beginning and then nice to our taste = a lot of back roads. Ootmarsum is always a nice destination. Very busy today. So no photos of it.

A great tour, just the way I like it. Lots of byways, great scenery, nice along the water.

Admittedly, the name of this tour is a bit awkward. We have already driven this tour and modified it a bit...
Turned the direction of travel and made small changes.
On the second half of the tour we stopped at a Rust point and bought two delicious cookies, which is how the tour got its name.

We did the tour once last year. Now we're doing it again, with a slightly different route at the beginning, along the border path.

April 27, 2025,Van Singraven Denekamp naar Ootmarsum, Halle, Nordhorn en weer terug.

Beautiful bike ride through the Netherlands and Germany.
Enough places to have lunch along the way.
Enough benches and rest points along the way to have a coffee and a sandwich.
Cycle paths are partly on narrow church paths, can be annoying when you get oncoming traffic.

By bus to Nordhorn🚍.
Super organized by Thiesing, we cycled towards Ootmarsum. A nice little cozy place has to be repeated
