// Around Enschede
SURPRISES ALONG THE CITY’S OUTSKIRTS On the boundary between Enschede’s urban area and its rural area you can find ‘het Rondje Enschede’ (lt. Around Enschede). A biking and hiking route of 52 km in total, which leads you along some unique spots in the countryside of Enschede and Boekelo. The route weaves through a varying landscape with several attractive stops. From a tea garden to an art gallery and from a forest playground to a blueberry farm. The route leads
over existing and new paths and can be identified by the white and green arrows. The route of ‘Rondje Enschede’ has been inspired by the round shape that has formed the city’s historical outskirts for ages, with the first recognisable outskirt dating back to around 1800. The ring roads, still present to this day, were constructed around the year 1930 and formed a new outskirt around the city. The current city’s
17
edge has been a defining element for the new hiking and cycling route.
