Tour of Den Ham and Ommen

Your route starts at Camping and Chaletpark Bergzicht. The valley through which the winding Vecht winds its way is a beautiful landscape in which picturesque villages, extensive estates, dense forests and wide moors extend. In this beautiful nature lies the old Hanseatic city of Ommen, where a German trade association used to trade in beer, cheese, sausage, wood and other goods. In Ommen there is also a beautiful, thatched, octagonal scaffolding mill from 1818, Den Oordt. You can see it looming on the horizon from afar. Het Laer used to be a castle; the surrounding canals and the wooded area in which the castle came into its own are still visible. After a number of sieges, renovations and takeovers, Landgoed Het Laer has grown into a beautifully restored manor.
