Most of the province of Drenthe is located on the so-called Drents Plateau, which consists of sand-covered gravel and sand deposits from the last ice age. As a result, there are few height differences. This makes the province of Drenthe a very relaxed province for cycling. The village of Borger, which you pass on this route, is located on the Hondsrug. With a length of 70 kilometers and a height of 20 meters above NAP, it is a landscape giant by Dutch standards. This village is known for the largest hunebed in the Netherlands. There are 5 other dolmens in the area. The new Hunebed Center is located here and you will find a lot of information and history about dolmens in the Netherlands. The presence of several megalithic tombs indicates an early habitation of the Borger area.
