direction east
Chris Zegers goes on road trip to the east of the Netherlands in his electric car. His first stop: the Sallandse Heuvelrug, an enormous heathland that feels truly special. Due to the differences in height it's perfect for mountainbiking. You find miles of hilly mountainbike trails. These routes are part of the mountainbike network Twente. A great way to explore this region.

"This makes me happy. A veranda from where you have a view of the surrounding area. The lodge is it is completely off grid, so cool. There is no central heating, but a wood stove if you get cold. Running water is there, but only to wash your hands and go to the toilet. Electricity comes from the solar panels.  But what really matters is the nature all around." watch the video.
