This is Bolletje Beschuit (the symbol of a rusk) in it’s bakery - also a museum - in
Almelo. An agreeable place to have a cup of tea or coffee and an old fashioned
“roombol”: a round biscuit/bread filled with cream. The small museum is only
to be reached by a staircase, but the shop is beautiful and worth a visit. |
|
Almelo is a very surprising city. The centre has wide squares with
connecting passages. And suddenly, looking for a Jugendstil style house,
located at Grotestraat 99, at the end of a side street you see the
forest! |
|
The Tourist Centre VVV is somewhat hidden near the bus-station. |
|
|
|
In the neighbourhood of the bus-station is the
Museum for Heemkunde Almelo that harbours the history of the mansion: Heerlijkheid Almelo (the mansion is only to be seen from
afar). Parking is only possible a little further down the street, and not many places at
that! Wheelchairs can enter via the back entrance of the museum. |
