We will meet at Hengelo Station at 1:00 PM to catch the train together. Upon arriving in Delden, we'll start a nice short tour near the impressive Twickel Castle. The route follows a scenic loop around the Twickelervaart and the Oelerbeek, crossing the water several times via beautiful, historic bridges. It’s a short hike that perfectly captures the charm of the Twente landscape.
