Bentheim Forest Adventure Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The Bentheim Forest extends north of Bad Bentheim around the spa center in a south-easterly direction. It invites you to take long walks. The forest adventure trail offers an experience for families. It starts right at the spa center. The Hute and Schneitelwald are also located in this area. In the area of the open-air stage you can marvel at large rocks of Bentheimer Sandstones.

Historic town centre of Schüttorf

Highlight • Historical Site

Schüttorf is the oldest town in the county. A large part of the old city wall can still be seen and still surrounds the actual nucleus of the city for a good part. With the large church and the old town hall you have the most striking buildings right next to each other.

May 17, 2024,Bad Bentheim - Schüttorf - Haddorf - Wettringen - Ochtrup - Bad Bentheim

Friday,
22°, partly cloudy but dry.

Last day in the county of Bentheim.
Today we went along the Vechte down to Wettringen (cross-country trip). From there we took the long-distance cycle path (Orchtrup-Rheine railway line)
to Ochtrup. From Orchtrup the route then mostly led over (car-free) side roads back to Bad Bentheim.

Bought an electric mosquito killer in the hope that it would also grill annoying insects😉
