Here you will find the Theater of Nature, a unique nature viewing hill. Be sure to take a look!
Ter Apel
Groningen may be known for its vast landscape, but at Ter Apel you pass through a forest. And not just any one: this monastery forest was already planted around 800. Monastery Ter Apel dates from 1465, the current museum is among the Top 100 of Dutch UNESCO monuments. The route then takes you through the Sellingerveld nature reserve. Here too you will experience a refreshing rest!
