The mills in the Hof van Twente have united in molenfietsroute.nl to showcase their mills, strengthen tourism and promote their cultural heritage of mills and the associated crafts.
The Hof van Twente houses the following mills. De Braakmolen in Goor, Den Haller Watermill in Diepenheim, de Molen van Buursink in Markelo, Noordmolen Twickel in Ambt Delden, the Twickeler Houtzagmolen in Delden, the Oelermolen in Oele and the Eschmolen Delden in Delden. Look in the menu at “Our watermills” and our “Our windmills” for all information about our mills.
If you cycle to the windmills of the Hof van Twente, it is nice if there are windmills open for viewing. Select the image below for an enlarged and sharper view of the overview that you can zoom in on better. Look at the bottom of the Dutch homepage for an overview and select the image voor a better view.
Each mill has its own style and culture, as has been the case for centuries. They are pearls on an island, who join forces while retaining their own identity. At all mills you will receive explanations and demonstrations from the volunteer millers about everything related to the mill, its history and the environment.
Did you know that the miller’s craft has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2017? Choose one of our beautiful cycling routes on these pages and jump on your bike. Be sure to take your children on this adventure, because children are usually amazed by what they see and hear and have the day of their lives. In this way you pass on your cultural heritage to the next generations, because it is not called heritage for nothing.
