A road trip to Gronau, the three-country corner, Bad Bentheim and onwards to Neuenhaus in Lower Saxony promises not only picturesque landscapes along the River Dinkel, but also cultural diversity and rural German-Dutch travel charm with guaranteed enjoyment at its finest.
Along this ideal route for campers, caravans and motorhomes, the picturesque River Dinkel meanders through the Dinkelland region, making the journey an unforgettable adventure. The pitch at the Dreiländersee lake in Gronau serves as a central starting point.
