Canoeing on the Bornse Beek
A beautiful canoe trip from Hengelo to Borne along the Bornse Beek.
This scenic stream flows past Hengelo, through Borne, and towards Almelo. Along the way, you’ll encounter a few fun little rapids, adding an extra element of excitement to the journey. The trip takes around 1.5 hours.
We start our adventure near the IKEA in Hengelo. At the endpoint, drivers are shuttled back to their cars, or you can choose to walk back along the Bornse Beek—a pleasant one-hour walk.
This canoe trip is great for families with children, but in three-person canoes, at least one adult must be present when paddling with small children.
