U Parkhotel | Explore Enschede and Hengelo combine city and nature

Hof Espelo

Come enjoy Hof Espelo estate and the adjacent area De Wildernis. On this centuries-old small-scale Twente estate you will see how beautiful nature and culture can be intertwined. Old lanes lead you past flowering fields and grassy meadows. The Eschbeek meanders through the estate and is bordered by a very old deciduous forest. The old farms each tell their own old story and lie like pearls in the Twente landscape. Still visible remnants from World War II lie quiet and abandoned. Come walk, bike, play sports and experience Hof Espelo. Round off a visit with a look at the visitor center in the old coach house.
