Getelo

Geographically, Getelo is located directly on the Dutch border and thus offers a perfect mix of German cosiness and Dutch flair. The landscape here is characterised by rolling hills, wide fields and dense forests - ideal for hiking or cycling tours.

The tourist attractions are many and varied: visit Bentheim Castle, an impressive castle complex with over 900 years of history. Or discover the Frenswegen Monastery, a former Cistercian monastery from the 14th century with a beautiful church in the brick Gothic style.

Cultural highlights are provided by numerous events such as the annual "Bentheimer Blues" music festival, where international musicians rock the stage. There are also culinary specialities to discover: be sure to try the famous "Grafschafter Spargel" (asparagus) or enjoy a fresh Pilsen beer in a cosy brewery.

Those who like to be active will also get their money's worth: In summer, you can cool off in the nearby natural lake or take a canoe trip on the Vechte. In winter, the skiing area in Bad Bentheim beckons with perfectly groomed slopes and cross-country trails.

Even if the weather is bad, there are plenty of ways to pass the time: Visit the Bentlage Monastery Museum, for example, or relax in one of the region's numerous wellness oases.

But it is still most beautiful out in nature - especially in spring, when the first flowers bloom, or in autumn, when the leaves turn colourful. Whatever the season, Getelo is definitely worth a visit!
