The Tankenberg is a great hill for beginners. If you want to make it a bit more difficult, take the climb several times (best is about 8 times). Route: Tankenberg right road, Bentheimerstraat right, Tankenbergstraat on again. This way you make a nice tour which you feel good after a good push through with the 7th or 8th time. ... read more

Tankenberg via Siemertweg starts out gradually and only gets a little steeper towards the end, where you'll have to push on briefly. After that, you quickly reach the top of a short, clear climb with no real tough sections.

This is climbing in Twente. Not difficult or tough, we traffic-free and very beautiful! Definitely take it if you are in the area!

Beautiful view from the top! Also nice area for cycling. The climb itself was easier than I had estimated. On the Siemertweg it starts to get a bit steeper. I had consciously saved some energy there to be able to continue the steeper part towards the top. However, the summit came sooner than I had estimated. So it was not really steep.

JN is right that the toughest part is 8% but not right that there is another tougher road and/or route. This might be true for off road but not for asphalt.

Couldn't find a video of the climb, will make a video of the climb and put it on youtube.

Hey JN what is the toughest part? I like the little mountain from Enschede indeed. Paasbergje pop off and then a nice piece up where you have to look over your shoulder for a reasonable view. Literally and figuratively the top of my standard cycling route :)
