On the eastern part of Netherlands, Achterhoek, you will find Winterswijk National Landscape. Winterswijk lies near the German border and has a long and rich history. The landscape is marked by open fields that have been used for agriculture for many centuries. There are about 300 farms and a few monasteries and chapels in the area.
Winterswijk is home to olden watermills that process grain into flour and they have now become one of the main tourist attractions in the town. You can also go biking or hiking to explore the landscape. If outdoor activities don’t take your fancy, then you can hunt for books in many antiquarian bookshops and regular bookstores that are usually open for public on Sundays. While you’re at it, don’t miss out on some of the popular museums in the region, such as the GOLS Museum, a railway museum, and the Mondriaan Museum, a local art museum.
