Discover Geesteren

When planning a stay in Geesteren, different interests may matter: an eight-kilometre village walk leads through the Twente hedgerow landscape; there are also historic buildings, winegrowing and fishing opportunities at Broekbeke. If you are looking for hotels in Geesteren, these details about the area can help you assess the destination based on the activities and subjects that matter to you.

Church and mill: two different architectural styles

The Sint Pancratiuskerk is a neo-Gothic church. It was built together with the rectory in 1925–1926. Its architectural style and construction date provide two specific points of reference if you are interested in church architecture. The Grote Geesterse Molen offers a different architectural accent: built in 1867, it is an octagonal belt mill. In contrast to the church, the focus here is on the type of mill. This allows you to consider religious architecture and mill construction as distinct aspects of Geesteren’s architectural history, rather than treating the two buildings as equivalent.

The Veldhoek Route and finding your way

The Veldhoek Route is an 8 km village walk through the Twente hedgerow landscape. The route length provides a specific distance for planning, while the description as a village walk and the landscape add information about the tour’s character. Green arrows mark the route, which can also be downloaded via the “Wandelen in Overijssel” app. Before setting out, check the signs and the app’s availability, as both may change.

On the Veldhoek Route, Wijngaard “Adebaer” is listed as stop 12, after 5 km. If this distance is important for finding your way, compare it with the current version of the route before your tour.

Winegrowing at Adebaer

Wijngaard “Adebaer” grows white Johanniter grapes and red Marechal Foch grapes. Wine made from these two grape varieties is bottled locally and sold under the name “Adebaer.” Both the varieties grown and the name of the wine are specified. If you are planning to buy some, confirm current production in advance.

Fishing and dining at Broekbeke

Broekbeke has seven fishing ponds. You can catch trout as well as carp, sturgeon and catfish there. Catch-and-release fishing is available for carp, sturgeon and catfish. This distinction is useful if you want to compare the fish species mentioned with the available fishing options. As information about participation may change, check the details that apply to your visit beforehand.

Broekbeke also has a brasserie, a conservatory, a terrace and a playground. The kitchen uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients from its own ponds. Fishing and dining are therefore two distinct aspects of what is on offer. Facilities may change; before your visit, check which ones are relevant to your plans.
