Discover Ambt Delden: Kasteel Twickel and walking trails

The options range from castle and garden history to a marked mountain biking route, walks and farmhouse cuisine. Consider whether culture, outdoor activities or a particular visit date should shape your travel plans. With this priority in mind, you can then search more specifically for hotels in Ambt Delden.

Kasteel Twickel and its gardens

The origins of Kasteel Twickel and its residents date back to 1347. Surrounding the castle is an English-style landscape park with several gardens, each with its own atmosphere. Guided tours of the castle are offered in summer. Visits take place in small groups with a guide; tickets must be booked well in advance. Afterwards, you can visit the castle gardens. When choosing a date, therefore, consider both the season and the need to book early, as well as your interest in the castle.

Mountain biking and walking

A 70-kilometre mountain biking route marked with arrows runs through Landgoed Twickel. It follows existing sandy paths and includes around ten kilometres of purpose-built singletrack. The route is therefore defined by two specific features: existing paths and specially constructed sections. Dedicated walking routes start and finish at Noordmolen Twickel; the walks take between 60 and 90 minutes. The mill is more than 650 years old. The figures answer different planning questions: 70 kilometres is the cycling route’s length, while 60 to 90 minutes is the duration of the walks. The arrows help you find your way along the mountain biking route.

Museum and farmhouse cuisine

Museumboerderij Wendezoele is located in the listed Twickel farmstead Erve Brinkcate, which dates from 1895. At the Wendezoeledagen, you can sample farmhouse dishes prepared on site in the “Keuken van toen” (Kitchen of the Past). A visit thus focuses on two distinct aspects: the historic farm building and the culinary experience at the Wendezoeledagen. If you would like to try the dishes, include the event dates in your plans.

Getting there and planning your hotel search

From Delden NS railway station, the castle and visitor centre are about a 15-minute walk away via Twickel’s marked “Umfassingsweg” walking trail. If you plan to use the trail, check the current route before setting out.

The walks at Noordmolen are listed as taking 60 to 90 minutes; the mountain biking route is described by its total length of 70 kilometres. You can check the event dates for the Wendezoeledagen in advance. Use these priorities to decide which visiting times matter for your trip, then search for hotels in Ambt Delden for your travel dates.
