Bourtange
Stop off in Bourtange to soak up the atmosphere, because the fortified village still looks the same as it did in 1742. William of Orange had the fortress built in the sixteenth century to liberate Groningen from Spanish hands. Outside the fortress you can still see part of the old marshland. In the valley of the Ruiten Aa you will see grain-covered ash trees and grasslands that are lined with wood belts. How beautiful Westerwolde is!
