Explore the Twente region by bike using the cycle junction network
The ANWB Fietsknooppuntenkaart 8 – Twente Stedenband map is designed for easily discovering the Twente region, located in the province of Overijssel in the Netherlands, by bike. This cycle touring map highlights the renowned Dutch numbered cycle junction system (fietsknooppunten), which allows you to create simple and personalized routes by connecting points in the network.
This system, widely used in the Netherlands and Belgium, is based on numbered intersections linked by cycle paths. Simply note a sequence of numbers to follow a specific route without having to memorize city names or constantly consult a detailed map. This navigation method is particularly appreciated by cycle tourists who want to enjoy the scenery without getting lost in map reading.
The map covers the Twente Stedenband region, an area encompassing several major cities in the eastern Netherlands, including Enschede, Almelo, and Hardenberg. This area is renowned for its diverse landscapes: verdant countryside, natural areas, polders, and waterways typical of the Dutch landscape. The cycle routes here pass through villages, nature parks, and agricultural areas, making them ideal for recreational cycling.
At a scale of 1:100,000, this map provides a clear overview of the region while allowing for easy estimation of distances between different hubs in the cycle network. It is a practical tool for planning a day trip or a longer journey across the Netherlands.
The map also indicates the LF (Landelijke Fietsroutes) national routes, a network of long-distance cycling routes that is very popular in the Netherlands. In addition, you'll find a variety of useful information for cyclists: museums, tourist attractions, restaurants, campsites, the road network, and services specifically designed for cyclists.
Compact and lightweight, this folded map easily fits in a handlebar bag or jersey pocket. It's ideal for cyclists who want to explore Twente independently, following the numbered signs along the cycle paths and creating their own routes.
Whether you're planning a leisurely ride through the Dutch countryside or a longer exploration of the national cycle network, this ANWB map is a reliable tool for planning and following your route in one of the Netherlands' most enjoyable cycling regions.
