Picturesque Echten, Hoogeveen and Zuidwolde

The start and end point of this route is at Wijngoed De Reestlandhoeve. The Echtenerveld is a large nature reserve with forest, heathland and fens. In the'Echtens Paradise\\\', a heathland with a sand drift, the protected juniper grows. You will also pass two historic burial mounds. These were previously used to bury the deceased and to honor the dead. In the picturesque village of Echten you can go back in time with the centuries-old Saxon farms. It is dominated by the beautiful manor of Echten from the fifteenth century. At that time it was still a hall house, but in the eighteenth century it was converted into a house with two wings around a courtyard. Today it is a workshop for the visually and mentally handicapped. Another beautiful town you will pass by is Zuidwolde.
