Hellendoorn lies between the Regge River and the wooded, heath-covered Sallandse Heuvelrug in Overijssel, a position that has kept the town connected to lowland waterways and higher sandy ground. Nearby Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park protects one of the Netherlands’ largest continuous heathland areas, crossed by walking and cycling routes through rolling moraine terrain. In town, Avonturenpark Hellendoorn grew from a tea garden opened in 1936, continuing a local tradition of recreation. The Regge links Hellendoorn with the broader Twente-Salland countryside, where meadows, small woods and settlements follow the river corridor.
