Description

Saxon farms around the brink, the fields on the convex ash, the higher fields and the hay meadows and meadows in the lower stream valley: in National Park and National Landscape De Drentsche Aa, the old, typical Drentsche landscape is preserved. The Drentsche Aa winds its way through a landscape that has remained exceptionally intact and where farmers have held sway for thousands of years. Yet the landscape was formed by the stream, around which an esdorp landscape was built. In the area you will find a characteristic combination of'spontane\\\' nature and agricultural activities on the land: hay making, mowing and sod cutting. It is a beautiful landscape, in which open and closed areas alternate strongly. During the bike ride you will pass two resistance monuments. The first is the War Memorial for Canadian Soldiers, which recalls the efforts of the men who liberated the Netherlands. The second is the Resistance Monument Hooghalen, which honors the resistance in the town. When you have cycled through the Drenthe landscape for about three-quarters of the route, you will pass the beautiful Grolloo windmill, located in the middle of the peat area. The paaltjasker is located in the Grollooerveen and can be seen from afar. The tjasker was already built in 1930, but it only got its current destination in 1986. Incidentally, the mill has no function other than that of a tourist attraction. You can also approach it within a few metres, if you are prepared to push your way through the tough vegetation. When you return to the starting point of the route, where you parked your car for free, you can enjoy a nice dinner at Cafe Restaurant Hofsteenge. If you want to make use of our cycling package and also want to explore route 120884, you can book a room in the hospitable Bed & Breakfast. These are cosily furnished and you can relax here and enjoy a wonderfully relaxing cycling weekend away.
