Walking

With the 'Grafschafter Spurensuche', you can explore more than 320 km of signposted hiking trails, on which you can cross the entire region. In addition to the 80-kilometre route 'In the footsteps of the Podagrists', 15 day tours have been developed with a length of 6 to 35 kilometres, which run through all municipalities and towns in Grafschaft Bentheim. This way, you get to know beautiful landscapes and fascinating stories: go on a trail in Grafschaft Bentheim province! Part of the long-distance route Handelsweg also runs through the region. The Obergrafschaft has its own network of hiking trails.

Cycling

Boundless cycling pleasure

Take a relaxing ride on your 'Fietse', as bicycles are also called in Grafschaft Bentheim. Through a mostly flat landscape, you will cycle on beautiful roads through meadows, forests, villages and towns. Along rivers, lakes and canals - with plenty of time in between for 'Kaffee mit Kuchen', of course. Explore castles, mills and farms. And learn about the people, the landscape, nature and culture, from the famous Bentheimer sandstone to the art road stations. More than 1,200 km of cycle paths await you. Up the pedals!

Bronze Age Uelsen

Hidden behind tall trees, you enter an area with a unique feel.

Welcome to the Bronze Age farm in Uelsen, a place full of history and living archaeology. Here, not far from the source of the Linnenbach and surrounded by tall trees and shrubs, you can immerse yourself in the world of our ancestors from more than 100 generations ago.

The Bronze Age courtyard is part of an impressive project created in close cooperation with the municipality of Uelsen, the Lower Saxony State Office for Heritage Conservation and many other partners. Together, a prehistoric farmhouse was reconstructed, providing an insight into the life of Bronze Age people on the Riedberg.

Bronze Age Uelsen

Visitors of all ages are welcome to take part in the many events taking place throughout the year. From the Uels Bronze Age Days to the Festival of Living Archaeology, there is much to discover and experience. Artisans and artists display their skills, weaving, dyeing wool, casting bronze and making music with traditional instruments such as the lyre.

The permanent exhibition in the Blekkers Hofcafé presents archaeological finds such as ceramics and tools, as well as informative panels and film footage of the Bronze Age in Uelsen and its surroundings. Here, visitors can learn more about the living conditions and culture of early Bronze Age people.

Crank spring across the Vecht

Cyclists and hikers can combine their trip with a special river tour.

Cyclists and hikers can combine their trip with a short, special river trip. If you want to reach the other side, you have to do it yourself. Powered by muscle power, the ferry glides through the water.

Note:

The crank spring boat cannot be used during the autumn/winter season as it is removed from the water. The crank spring boat in Laar is in use from April to October (depending on the weather).
