Markelo
One of the oldest villages in Twente. The landscape is characterized by strikingly sloping ashes. These five hills lend themselves perfectly to beautiful walking, cycling and riding routes. Markelo has a cozy village center with a Romanesque church in the middle. The Buursink mill has been restored and is a feast for the eyes. So is the market, with lots of vegetables a meat, fresh from the farm.
