Oldenzaal with ca. 30,000 inhabitants is located in the green heart of Twente, surrounded by a beautiful landscape offering lots of recreation possibilities.
The city’s face is governed by the medieval St. Plechelmus church; another outstanding building is the “Palthe Huis”, a 17th century typical Dutch building, now a museum, and open for the public.
For visitors, Oldenzaal offers a pedestrian area with two recently renovated shopping malls (the “Driehoek” and the “Vijfhoek”), small typical Dutch streets with unique shops and a big market square with a variety of pubs, cafés and restaurants.
For a one day recreation, we recommend “Het Hulsbeek” recreation park, where you can enjoy the sun laying on the beach, or do swimming, fishing, surfing, but also cycling, walking and horse-riding is possible…
