Recreatieplas De Oldemeijer

Recreational lake De Oldemeijer is located in the Boswachterij Harderberg. This forestry is over 1,000 hectares in size and is owned by Staatsbosbeheer. The forestry is located north of the Vechtdal in Overijssel. Nature, recreation and timber cultivation come together here. Here you can enjoy swimming in the recreational lake or just lazing around at the edge of the water. Nothing better than swimming in natural water surrounded by green nature on a hot day. You can also make wonderful trips here on one of the many cycling and hiking trails. On the heaths and on the edge of the fens in this area you can encounter deer and birds of prey. So there is no shortage of nature in this region. Around 1900 Boswachterij Hardenberg consisted of large heathlands that gradually changed into sand drifts due to overgrazing. Around 1930, these areas were planted with trees to keep the drifts in check. This is how the varied piece of nature that you can find here today was created.
