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 woods, heaths and fens. The protected juniper grows in the'Echtens Paradijs\\\', a heath with a sand drift. You will also pass two historic burial mounds. They used to be used to bury the dead and to honor the dead. In the picturesque village of Echten you go back in time with the ancient Saxon farms. It is dominated by the beautiful manors of Echten from the fifteenth century. At that time it was still a hall, 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 place you will pass is Zuidwolde.
