Twist is a small municipality in southern Emsland on the edge of the Moor Nature Park. The surrounding area is characterised by rolling hills and wide fields - ideal for relaxing walks or cycling tours. There are also several lakes nearby, such as the Geeste reservoir or the Schöninghsdorf forest swimming pool.

An absolute highlight is the Heimathaus Twist, a museum that provides insights into the life of times gone by. Here you can admire traditional handicrafts or take a look at the historic living rooms.

Culturally interested visitors should definitely visit St. Anna's Church - an impressive building from the 13th century with a rich history and many art-historical treasures.

For gourmets, Twist offers a variety of regional delicacies such as kale with pinkel or traditional bread from the stone oven. The local grain brandy "Echter Nordhäuser" is also very popular with locals and tourists alike.

Outdoor enthusiasts will also get their money's worth here: In summer, the Schöninghsdorf forest swimming pool offers a refreshing place to cool off, while in winter you can go skiing and snowboarding on the nearby slopes of the Twist ski club.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to discover in Twist. How about a visit to the "Emsbad" adventure pool, for example, or a round of bowling at the Fun Centre?

And where is the most beautiful place in Twist? That's hard to say - every place has its own charm. However, a stroll through the idyllic streets of Twist or an excursion to the nearby Dankwarderode Castle are definitely recommended.

In summary, Twist is definitely worth a trip for anyone looking for peace and relaxation as well as an interest in history and culture. With this travel guide, you now have all the information you need to plan your stay in the best possible way.

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Runde. Überall gibt es Möglichkeiten zur Rast. Selbst die wenigen Strecken entlang von Hauptstraßen waren sehr ruhig und wenig befahren. An 2-3 Stellen weicht der GPX Track von der Beschilderung ab.

    Tolle Route. Sehr sehenswert und für Naturfreunde überaus interessant. Besonders der Teil in den Niederlanden verdient mehr als nur fünf Sterne. Wunderschöne Moorlandschaft wechselt ab mit Toofabbau und renaturalisierten Flächen. Auch ist die Route außerordentlich gut beschildert. Als Startpunkt empfehle ich das Emsländische Moormuseum da man dort sehr gut parken kann und es sich absolut lohnt nach der Tour das Museum zu besuchen.
