Starting point
Historical outskirts
Rondje Enschede was inspired by the round shape that has formed the historic outskirts of the city for centuries. The first recognisable outskirts of Enschede date back to around 1800. The ring roads were constructed around 1930 and then marked the city boundry, as a new ‘round’. The current city boundary has been a defining element for the biking and hiking route.
