Camping De Twentse Es

This is an ace spot for those who like to get out and about on foot or by bike. Call into reception or the local tourist office for some ideas: perhaps head to the nature trails of the Haagse Bos or take an architectural tour of the city’s Roombeek district, each reachable within an easy half-hour cycle. In the city centre, visit the Rijksmuseum Twenthe to wander round its fab collection of art from across the ages, including works by Dutch masters and contemporary artists. Nearby, the Twentsewelle Museum is a family-friendly place with ever-changing exhibitions and plenty of interactive bits and bobs for kids. A good kid-friendly day out is the Waarbeek amusement park, 20 minutes’ drive from the site, where there’s all sorts of old-school fun including bumper cars, a toboggan run and a big wheel. Adults and kids of six and over can also get up into the trees at Rutbeek climbing park, half an hour away, for adventure courses up in the woodland canopy.
