Glane
Welcome to Glane!
The Dinkel River connects Glane to the municipality of Losser. Historically, Glane was originally a water name—now called the Glanerbeek—meaning “the clear one.” After World War II, Glane became a village in 1948 with the construction of a Roman Catholic church. In Glane, you can enjoy beautiful cycling and walking routes along the renewed Lagapad. Together with the Dinkel, you can experience the stunning natural surroundings here.
Lagapad
Glane is a village with a rich history, which developed when families from the north of the Netherlands settled here to work in the textile industry in nearby Gronau, Germany.
Glane features the beautiful Lagapad, which, together with the Dinkel River, allows you to enjoy the stunning natural surroundings. This popular path offers open views over fields and meadows, making it a favorite for walkers and cyclists alike.
Monastery
Glane is also home to the Syriac Orthodox Monastery , which serves as a new community center and includes a cemetery. The monastery has its own publishing house, releasing theological and cultural books. Since April 29, 2007, Archbishop Polycarpus Augin Aydin has resided there, along with monks and nuns.
Routes
Several routes start from Glane within the walking network. The main starting point is the corner of Lagapad and Glanestraat. The long-distance walking route, the Dinkelpad, passes through Glane.
One of the most scenic cycling routes along and around the Dinkel River is the Dinkelstenenroute. It stretches north to De Lutte and south to Epe in Germany, making for a wonderful day trip. Along this route, you can fully enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Glane.
