Salland Ridge

The Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park is unique. Here you will find the largest contiguous heathland area in northwestern Europe. This national park is 35 km2 large, so you won't get bored easily here. This is also due to the varied nature, from coniferous forests to moors and 'mountains'. Yes really, the Sallandse Heuvelrug even has several. The Archemerberg is the only non-forested mountain, giving you a breathtaking view of Salland, Twente and the valley of the Vecht from the top. Do not have too "high" expectations of this mountain, as its height is 78 meters. The heather is at its most beautiful at the end of summer, as it turns purple, purple, purple.

Salt Museum

The Salt Museum tells the complete story about salt. The museum is not only about the history around Twickel, Boekelo and Hengelo, but also about the periods much further back in time. Salt is an important component of chemistry in world history. Very worthwhile is the basic exhibition and large collection of salt vessels. The rich and varied (interactive) information about this important raw material for our lives will amaze young and old, individual visitor and group.
