Maps and trails
The region is characterised by its idyllic landscapes, which are characterised by rolling hills and picturesque forests. Particularly worth seeing are the numerous historic buildings and churches, which still bear witness to past eras.

The tourist attractions include Bentheim Castle and the Nordhorn Zoo. A steam train ride on the museum railway "Süd-Nord Express" also offers a change from everyday life.

Cultural highlights can be found above all in the form of concerts or exhibitions. For example, it is worth visiting the Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst or experiencing one of the many music festivals such as the Stadtfest Nordhorn or the open-air festival "Rock am Pferdemarkt".

Those looking for culinary specialities will also find what they are looking for in Wilsum: Here you can find regional specialities such as the famous Grafschafter Kornbrand, which is made from local grain.

But Wilsum is especially recommended for all outdoor enthusiasts: whether hiking, cycling or canoeing - here everyone will find the right activity. Especially in spring and summer, hikes through the flowering landscapes are a must. A canoe trip on the Vechte or an excursion by bike through the picturesque villages are also absolute highlights.

Even when the weather is bad, Wilsum still offers plenty of options: For example, you can visit the "Aqua Mundo" leisure pool at Center Parcs or settle down in one of the cosy cafés and restaurants.

Whether as a day trip or for a longer stay - Wilsum is definitely worth a visit and is perfect for anyone who appreciates nature, culture and culinary delights in equal measure. An unforgettable experience awaits you here!

    Schöne, nicht zu schwierige Streckenführung durch abwechslungsreiches Gebiet. Wir haben uns viel Zeit gelassen und haben etwa zwei Stunden benötigt. Empfehlenswerte Runde!

    Den Wilsumer Wanderweg sind wir inzwischen mehrmals gelaufen, er hat zu jeder Jahreszeit seine schönen Seiten. Die Strecke ist abwechslungsreich und man kommt durch viel Natur. Einige ehemals sehr matschige Streckenabschnitte sind mittlerweile mit Schotter belegt.
