Etymology

The church reformer Albertus Risaeus was born in 1510 in Rheeze; the Latin name 'Risaeus' refers to this.[7][8] However, he was also known as Albert(us) Hardenberg, after the town near Rheeze. He left for Groningen at the age of 7, where there were better educational opportunities.[8]

Recreation area

Due to the location of Rheeze in the green Overijssel Vechtdal, tourism also plays a very important role in Rheeze.[9] There are many campsites,[10] mainly on the Grote Beltenweg, which house thousands of campers every year.
