The forest adventure trail is located in the middle of the Bentheim Forest between Schüttorf and Bentheim. Here, nature enthusiasts can playfully learn everything about the forest and its inhabitants. Knowledge and athleticism are required!

Here you can see a real traffic hub. Two bridges cross the Vechte River: one for the railway, one for cyclists, and at the same time a narrow cycle path runs directly underneath the river.

A beautiful, modern restaurant with an excellent menu. Behind the restaurant are men's and women's restrooms, each with a changing room. Ideal if you want to swim in the lake.
