NL The Dutch-German Border Triangle
A road trip to Gronau, to the border triangle, to Bad Bentheim and on to Neuenhaus in Lower Saxony promises not only picturesque landscapes near the river Dinkel, but also cultural diversity and rural German-Dutch travel flair with guaranteed enjoyment at its best.
Along this ideal route for campers, caravans, motorhomes and caravan fans, the charming River Dinkel meanders through the Dinkelland and makes the journey an unforgettable adventure. The pitch at Dreiländersee in Gronau serves as a central starting point for caravan fans, from which all destinations along the Dinkel can be easily reached.
The Dinkelland region, nestled in the Dutch province of Overijssel, is named after the Dinkel – a small, meandering river that flows gently across the Dutch-German border. It connects the scenic countryside of Twente with the neighboring German towns of Gronau and Bad Bentheim, forming a unique cross-border landscape. This borderland is rich in nature, culture, and history – where rural charm meets European openness.
