And then pause at the dome at the highest point; with a view over the valley where you can see all the way to Germany. At 85 meters, Tankenberg is the highest mountain in Overijssel. The dome’s location lies on energy lines, making it a very energetic spot.
HIKING TIP!
Trambaan Route (15 km)
The hiking route of the “Denekamp-Oldenzaal tram” literally cuts right through the landscape. The tram hasn’t run since 1942, but hikers still follow the same tracks. The tram houses in Denekamp and Oldenzaal are a reminder of the tram, as are a few sections of tram track along the route.
