Go for a walk and visit beautiful castle and estate twickel netherlands

Walking in Twickel and Delden Twickel is the name of the estate with a beautiful castle completely surrounded by a moat. Built in early Renaissance style. With a beautiful tower from 1551. The castle has been expanded many times. The estate is 4400 acres and the house color is black with white shutters on the 148 farms. In the area zinj many Saxon farms sometimes still with the wells. The castle is still inhabited by a member of a noble family. Occasionally the garden and the castle are set up for visitors. The lands, forests are included in a foundation. The estate has mainly a lot of forest. The felled trees are processed in Twickel's own sawmill. It is a large area with streams, woods, fields, meadows and bridges over the water. And as a bonus, every now and then a beautiful view of the castle. Twickel itself has a parking lot where you can park for a small fee. The proceeds go to the foundation for maintenance. Delden is a beautiful old town right next to Twickel. I park my car mostly behind hotel-restaurant de Zwaan also known as parking Noorderhagen. Parking there is free. You can easily take the pedestrian tunnel under the road. Walk the Umfassungsweg from Twickel The route is almost 10 kilometers. Well signposted. Without height differences. Although the pedestrian bridge over the main road is high. However, this can be circumvented by using the pedestrian tunnel over the bridge for cyclists and cars. The most famous and loved by many Umfassungsweg. No no no typo the name of the route is German. The route covers {umfasst} the heart of the estate. Right after the pedestrian tunnel, the Umfassungsweg already begins. The signage is on wooden posts marked with the black letters UW. The route goes largely on unpaved paths, through the park landscape near the castle, through forest, across meadows, heathland and over the Esch, back via Delden. Some parts of the route are not suitable for wheelchairs and baby carriages. On a part of the route dogs are not allowed because of cattle and the fragile nature. The first part goes over fairly wide dirt roads. Along the way there are regularly benches. You cross a narrow asphalt road again. Along the way there is a beautiful wooden picnic cart at a farm (Erve Bokdam). Here you can buy something to drink and a snack. But also a piece of cheese and other farm products. Only cash to pay. Then you walk through a gate and cross a meadow. Often there are cows and sheep. You cross a small asphalt road. And go over a large wooden bridge. If you go on this road, before the bridge, a little to the left, you come to museum farm Wendezoele. Here you get a glimpse of former life on a farm. After the bridge the path begins with wooden boards. Often you get the spontaneous feeling that you are walking in Africa. The path takes you slightly above the swampy ground so you keep your feet dry. Then you walk through an open field, the Esch, with a wide view of the surroundings. The water tower of Delden comes closer and closer. Just before the larger road on the linden side is tavern Het Hoogspel. There is a lovely large terrace and a large playground. Nice for a well deserved snack and drink. Via the high steel pedestrian bridge you walk into town of Delden. The castle walk is 5 km and officially starts from the parking lot of Twickel.
