Description

It is wonderfully quiet in the Grolloo forestry. Now and then the silence is broken by the drumming of woodpeckers or the cry of a distant buzzard. In many places the forest gives way to open heath. The many friends are special. We start in a real Drenthe village, Westerbork. Here you will find two information points where you can buy various maps, guides and souvenirs in memory of the cycling route through Drenthe. When we leave Westerbork we pass a very small village, Elp. Around 350 people from Drenthe live here. When we have left Elp we return to the tranquility of Boswachterij Grolloo. When we leave the Grolloo forestry in the direction of Hooghalen, we pass the Kamp Westerbork memorial center just before junction 3. There has been a memorial center here since 1983, where the history of Durchgangslager Westerbork is told. The former camp site is now a green plain. The main buildings are now marked by knolls. Triangular stones mark the places where barracks and railway tracks once stood. A monument has been placed in the middle of the site, in memory of the many thousands of Jews and gypsies who were deported from camp Westerbork to the extermination camps.
