Biker stops in Twente

Twente is the rolling east at its best: sandy rises and hedgerows, half-timbered farms, estates like Twickel near Delden and the painterly town of Ootmarsum. The old textile cities of Enschede and Hengelo sit beside a surprisingly rural countryside of narrow, winding roads right up to the German border.
