Teahouse Dennenoord

Teahouse Dennenoord

Nature spot: + To Go coffee: Theehuis Dennenoord
We love a tea house in vast nature. Because the atmosphere is so nostalgic and not much needs to be done for a pleasant afternoon. Moreover, the tea houses are often (sometimes unintentionally) very hip: old-fashioned, light gray painted scraps + floral wallpaper + second-hand crockery = delicious. The authentic Theehuis Dennenoord is located among the woods at one of the most beautiful locations in Twente, between Vasse and Ootmarsum. An original wooden building from 1921. Perfect for tea and cake after a few hours of pedaling with a headwind
Theehuis Dennenoord can be found in green Twente, and Twente has much more fun!
